Throw Blankets

Cotton is widely considered one of the best materials for throw blankets. Its exceptional breathability helps regulate body temperature, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. Our cotton throws are highly durable, hypoallergenic, and ideal for sensitive skin. They become softer with each wash, are lightweight, and naturally wick moisture, making them a practical and comfortable choice for year-round use in any room of the home.

Our throws are made from long staple combed cotton. Long staple cotton produces fewer exposed fiber ends and stronger threads compared to short staple cotton, resulting in a fabric that is smoother, softer, and more durable. The combing process goes a step further by using brushes to remove impurities and short fibers, leaving only long, straight fibers. This creates a luxurious texture that is notably less itchy and more refined than regular cotton.

All of our throws are 50 x 60 inches, a size perfectly proportioned for draping over a sofa or couch. This generous size gives full coverage for one person curled up or acts as a shared wrap for two people sitting together. The 50 x 60 inch format is the standard throw blanket size, designed to complement the scale of most sofas and armchairs without overwhelming the piece.

OEKO-TEX certification means the fabric has been independently tested and confirmed to be free from harmful levels of over 100 substances known to be harmful to human health. Every Pink Lemonade throw blanket is OEKO-TEX certified, so you can be confident the cotton and dyes we use meet strict safety standards. This certification is particularly reassuring for anyone with sensitive skin, allergies, or young children in the home.

AZO is a chemical compound found in many textile dyes that can break down into substances known to cause cancer. AZO-free dyes do not contain this compound. We use AZO-free dyes across all of our throw blankets, meaning the vibrant colors in every design are free from these potentially harmful chemicals. This makes our throws safer for direct skin contact and more environmentally responsible in their production.

Combed cotton is a premium cotton variant created by running fibers through fine brushes before spinning, which removes short fibers and impurities and leaves only long, straight, aligned fibers. The result is a yarn that is smoother, stronger, and less prone to pilling than standard cotton. We use combed cotton in all of our throw blankets, which is why the surface feels consistently soft and refined rather than rough or scratchy, even after repeated washing.

Yes - our throw blankets are machine washable, making them practical for regular use. Wash on a delicate cycle at 30 degrees Celsius, use a low iron if needed, and do not bleach or dry clean. After washing, lay the blanket flat to dry and reshape while damp. Do not tumble dry or line dry. The care process is straightforward and keeps the knit structure looking its best over time.

No. Our throws are made with pre-shrunk cotton, so you do not need to worry about the blanket shrinking or distorting after washing. As long as you follow the care instructions - gentle machine wash at 30 degrees, lay flat to dry, reshape when damp - your blanket will hold its size and shape wash after wash. The pre-shrunk construction also means the blanket you receive is the size it will stay.
