Hooded Wearable Blanket Throw

The Hooded Wearable Blanket solves the problem every throw has: it falls off the moment you stand up. Sleeves and a hood keep it on while you make tea, answer the door or move to another room, which is most of what actually happens during an evening on the sofa.

The fleece is brushed on both faces and cut generously, so it covers from shoulders to shins on most adults with room to tuck feet up. The hood is lined rather than single-layer, which is what stops it from feeling flimsy when it is up.

It packs down small enough for a car or a caravan and survives frequent washing better than most natural fibres. Velleora Home Decor kept the cuffs loose rather than elasticated. Wash cool, tumble dry low, skip fabric softener, and keep it clear of open fires and heaters.
