Made in Britain using British wool, this throw feels both pleasingly weighty and soft (that’s thanks to the little bit of stretch that the looser weave brings, stopping it from being in any way stiff). It’s generously sized, big enough to really curl up under, and it’s woven with a geometric pattern in shades of grey (with a little red) that’ll introduce lots of inviting texture to your space.
Design & engineering
The textile
Auburn is designed for us by a micro mill based in Bristol and then woven by a larger mill in Lancashire. They’ve used 100% British sheep’s wool; completely natural, wool is not only renewable and biodegradable, but also naturally insulating and hypoallergenic. The throw is then finished with a short fringe on each end. All in all, it’s a real artisan piece with the feel of a handmade blanket.
The colour
The tonal colouring of the pattern – in mid–light greys – softens it, making it an easy way to introduce pattern into your home or to mix and match it with others. There’s just a little dash of red running through (literally, as a dashed ‘stitch’ line) to add liveliness.
A styling tip or two
Adding a touch of red to your decorating scheme is a trick borrowed from some of the great painters including, famously, Turner. Even a little will lift all the other colours in the room. You could make Auburn the only red accent, but it’ll be particularly effective layered with other earthy tones.
