Which size, and does the colour matter?
Colour is taste and you cannot get it wrong. Size is the one worth thinking about for thirty seconds. The difference between the two is almost entirely length, and length is what decides whether your feet stay covered.
| Choose | If this sounds like you |
|---|---|
| 50"×71" | You want a throw that lives on the back of the couch and looks like it belongs there. One person curled up, or two people sharing across their knees. |
| 51"×94" | You are tall, or you actually lie down on the couch rather than sitting. The extra two feet of length is the difference between covered feet and a cold ankle at 10pm. |
The longer size also works folded lengthways across a double bed, which the shorter one does not.
Do the tassels survive a wash?
They do, but only if you stop them getting wrapped around each other in the drum. Tassels almost never break — they tangle, and then people pull them apart, and that is what does the damage.
| Do | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Cold gentle wash, on its own, in a mesh laundry bag if you have one. Comb the tassels straight with your fingers while damp, then dry flat | Washing it with zips, buttons or hook-and-loop straps. Tumble drying on heat, which kinks the tassels permanently. Hanging it wet from one edge, which pulls the knit out of square |
The step people skip is combing the fringe out before it dries. Sixty seconds with your fingers while the blanket is still damp and the tassels dry straight. Skip it and they set into whatever tangled shape they came out of the machine in, and no amount of brushing afterwards fully fixes it.
The blanket stops being the thing you tidy away and becomes part of the couch.
Most households own a perfectly warm blanket that lives in a cupboard, and a slightly nicer one that lives on the couch and is too thin to be any use. So on a cold evening you either get up and go and find the good one, or you sit there under the decorative one being mildly cold. A knitted throw with a fringed edge is the one that solves both at once: warm enough that you never go and get the other one, and finished enough that it can sit over the arm all week without looking like laundry.

What the knit is doing that a woven throw is not
A knitted blanket is made of interlocking loops, and those loops hold air. That air is the insulation — the yarn itself does very little. It is why a knit throw at a given weight is noticeably warmer than a flat woven one, and why it keeps stretching and moving with you instead of sitting on top like a sheet. Pull a knit across your shoulders and it follows the shape; do the same with a woven throw and it tents.
The tassels are not just decoration either. A knitted edge has to be finished or it unravels, and a tasselled fringe is a finish that puts the weight at the very edge of the blanket. That weight is why the corners hang straight down over a couch arm rather than curling up, which is the small difference between a throw that looks arranged and one that looks dumped.
- Yellow — the warm one. Lifts a grey or navy couch immediately, and reads best in a room that gets decent daylight. The boldest of the three.
- Blue — the calm one. Sits quietly with denim, timber and white walls, and is the easiest choice if the room already has a lot going on.
- Caramel — the neutral one. Warm tan that goes with leather, oak and cream without ever being the loudest thing in the room. The one most people pick when they want it to just work.
- 50"×71" — couch-throw proportions. Fits neatly folded over an arm or the back of a two-seater.
- 51"×94" — long enough to lie under properly, and long enough to run across a double bed as a foot-of-bed layer.

What You're Getting
- One knitted throw blanket in your chosen Colour and Size, with tasselled fringe on the ends
