Nordic Winter Plush Blanket

The Nordic Winter Plush Blanket is built for the coldest stretch of the year. A high-loft pile traps warm air close to the body, and the backing is dense enough to block the draught that comes off a window or a hard floor. It is the layer you reach for when the heating has gone off and the room has not caught up yet.

Despite the warmth it stays breathable, so it does not become clammy over a long evening. The pile is brushed in one direction to give it a soft directional sheen, and the hem is double-stitched at the corners where throws usually give out first. Velleora Home Decor sized it generously, with enough length to cover an adult from shoulder to ankle.

Quiet Scandinavian colours keep it easy to live with on a grey sofa or a wooden bed frame, and it folds down small enough to keep in a basket between uses. Wash cool on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low; avoid fabric softener, which coats the fibres and flattens the pile over time.
