Posted by Indian Traders on April 22nd, 2021

A Pendleton throw is a small blanket that is made from wool, cotton, or another fibre. The fabric used to make a throw will affect the softness, style and durability. Some other types of throws are made from silk, cotton or chenille. Some throws can be very expensive depending on the type of weaving required and the material used in the manufacturing process. Throws can be completely decorative or very useful depending on what the owner decides to do with them.

The growth in popularity of throws

In the 1980s, fleece became very popular for outerwear. It also started trending for throws and other types of blankets. It was not bulky but did an excellent job of keeping people warm without taking a lot of room. It was pliable and this made it soft and could be laid nicely over furniture making it an excellent choice as a throw. These throws were cheap to make compared to wool throws and needed less labor than crocheted or knitted blankets. Their price was lower and they came in a wide range of different styles and colors. Nowadays, all types of throw blankets are popular. People use different types of throws for different purposes. The only variances you will find when it comes to choosing throws is based on the throw type.

Tips for using a throw

Before you start figuring out how to use your throw, it is important to remember that throws come in different colors, styles and shapes but they are usually about 1 by 1.5 m although it is possible to get larger and smaller sizes of Pendleton throw blankets. The fabric used to make a throw will affect its softness, durability and price with some throws made from fine wool or silk being expensive while micro-fleece and polyester throws being very cheap.

Now let us go back to the question. How do you use your throw to gain the most from it? A colorful throw can be used for decoration by adding a touch of warmth to your room and draping a throw across your favorite sofa or chair can give you a look of style and comfort. If you have kids, a well-positioned throw blanket can cover a nice piece of furniture. It is easier to clean a throw than a chair or sofa. This is true also for pets. Putting a throw on a chair where pets like to curl up is also a common practice. It is important to bear in mind that it might not be wise to use expensive throws for this purpose as pets reduce the life expectancy of your throw. A machine-washable throw is also ideal for both of these uses.

Throws for decoration

You can also buy a Pendleton throw for decoration purposes. You can find throws themed to decorate kids’ rooms with characters from books, films and TV programs. Throws can also be used for decoration during special days such as Christmas day. Decorative throws can be used to cover doors and windows, like wall hangings and more.
