Rafferty Cotton Knit Throw Blanket - Soft Textured Knit, 52 x 63 Inches, Lightweight and Breathable for Couch or Bed

The VoriHaus Rafferty Cotton Knit Throw Blanket is pure cotton worked as a knit, so the surface carries a low, even texture from the stitch itself rather than from any applied finish. Knitted cotton behaves differently from woven cotton in the hand: it gives a little in both directions, sits closer to whatever it is draped over, and softens further with each wash instead of going limp. It is light, and it breathes, which is the whole argument for cotton over a synthetic pile.

One size is made, 52 by 63 inches. That is a single person throw rather than a bed cover: long enough to reach from shoulder to foot on a sofa, wide enough to wrap, and small enough to fold over the arm of a chair without the ends trailing. On a bed it works across the foot as a top layer. Four colorways are offered, and the knit texture reads the same in all of them.

The throw is machine washable and improves with washing. VoriHaus recommends a cool or warm gentle cycle with a mild detergent, a low tumble dry or a flat dry, and easing the throw back to shape while it is still damp, since any knit will take the shape it dries in. Skip fabric softener. Best over a couch, a chair or the foot of a bed.
