From about September the duvet is unbearable, and the alternative is a sheet, which is not a blanket — it slides off, it has no weight to it, and it looks like an unmade bed by morning. So you sleep with one leg out and the duvet half off, all season. This is the thing that fills that gap: a woven cotton throw with a wildflower print across it, heavy enough to stay where you put it and light enough that you don't wake up warm. In winter it goes on top of the duvet and adds warmth without adding bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Floral Cotton Throw spread across a bed\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6433\/1932\/files\/LaraFloralAll-SeasonCottonBlanket_4.png?v=4505308305%20cm%20style=\" display: block margin-left: auto margin-right:\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCotton is the reason it works in both directions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWarmth and breathability usually pull against each other, and synthetics resolve that by choosing warmth: polyester fleece traps heat brilliantly and traps moisture along with it, which is why you wake up clammy under one. Cotton is the opposite kind of fibre. It moves air through the weave and absorbs moisture instead of sitting on top of it, so a hot sleeper stays comfortable and a cold sleeper still gets a genuine layer of insulation. The practical consequence is that this is one blanket rather than a summer one and a winter one. The other consequence is longevity: cotton doesn't pill into grey bobbles, doesn't hold static, doesn't pick up the smell of the room, and comes out of every wash softer than it went in. A cotton throw at year three is the nicest it has ever been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe print, and where it lands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe wildflower pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e — scattered stems and small blooms rather than a dense repeat, so it reads as pattern from across the room and as detail up close.
