Blankets and Throws

By: Andrea Schuch
I have seen several articles this week as well as having a conversation about blankets and throws. I think the chill in the air is making all of us want to curl up and snuggle with a warm throw. These can also be used as great accessories. Adding a pop of color or texture has never been so easy! There are endless possibilities to creating these snuggly winter friends.


There are so many great fabrics to use for throws, here are a few!

Robert Allen: Beckery BK – Crimson Who wouldn’t want to snuggle up against this sweater knit?










Or try velvet for a more luxurious look…

Fabricut: Renaissance – 118









Highland Court: 180569H – 6 Gold











Robert Allen: Cashmina – Meadow











For a more masculine feel, use a wool…

Highland Court: 180483H – 42 Thistle











Or how about a whimsical touch with Robert Allen: Ashland Fur – Bison?











And can you imagine all the fabulous trims that you could put on a great throw? Heck, get creative and jazz it up with banding, beads and bullion. Go for it - and make sure you send us some pictures!
