Work it back through from the reverse with a blunt needle or your fingernail, or simply push the surrounding weave together and it will close up. The step people skip: taking it out of the machine promptly. A woven throw left balled in a warm drum for an hour keeps every crease that hour put into it, and those are much harder to shift than the ones a shake would have solved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom:0;\"\u003eStore it folded rather than hung — a hanger over one bar stretches the weave into a permanent fold line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: centre;\"\u003eThe blanket that looks intentional when nobody is sitting under it.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery sofa collects blankets, and most of them are on the sofa because they are warm rather than because anyone wants to look at them. The result is a living room with a good sofa and a pile of assorted fleece on it. A woven throw is the piece that fixes the other half of the job. It has enough weight and structure to fall in real folds over an arm or a cushion, so it reads as an arranged textile rather than something abandoned mid-nap — and it is still the thing you pull over your knees at nine o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Marble Woven Throw Blanket draped across a sofa in use\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6433\/1932\/files\/6_3a57e338-c2c4-4a0a-b853-27f1060b20ca.jpg?v=4503764280%20cm%20style=\" display: block margin-left: auto margin-right:\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe weave is the design, so there is nothing on the surface to wear off\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA marble effect is usually printed, and printing onto a blanket has an expiry date — the design sits on top of the cloth, and every wash and every rub against a cushion takes a little of it away. Here the marbled swirl is produced by the weave itself, with the yarns shifting tone across the face of the throw. There is no layer to lift, no edge to crack, and the pattern looks the same on the day it goes out as on the day it arrived. The weave does a second thing that matters more in daily use: it gives the throw drape. A printed fleece falls in soft shapeless lumps because it has no structure. A woven textile has enough body to hold a fold, which is why it stays where you arrange it on the back of a chair rather than sliding to the floor by lunchtime, and why it looks like a considered object on a bed instead of a spare layer someone forgot to put away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree places it earns its keep\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOver the arm of a sofa\u003c\/strong\u003e — folded in half lengthways and draped, the marbled tones break up a plain upholstery colour without adding a hard-edged pattern to the room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcross the foot of a bed\u003c\/strong\u003e — laid horizontally over a plain duvet, it gives a made bed a defined band of texture.
