In much of North India, there is a stretch in late November when it is too cold to sit without a layer and too early to bring out the razai. Throw blankets fill that gap, and in AC bedrooms they earn their keep all year.

Weight decides the use. Cotton and light handloom throws suit air-conditioning and mild winter evenings; knitted, fleece or wool-blend throws are warmer for proper cold. A size of around 50 by 60 inches covers one person on a sofa, while larger ones stretch across the foot of a double bed.

Fringed and tasselled edges look relaxed draped over a chair, and a throw in a solid colour can calm a busy printed sofa. Wash cotton throw blankets regularly, but hand wash or gently machine wash knitted and wool ones, dry them flat, and store them with dried neem leaves during the off season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a throw and a blanket?

A throw is smaller and lighter, meant for draping over a sofa or using on your lap. A blanket is larger and made to cover a bed.

Which throw suits air-conditioned rooms?

A light cotton or cotton-blend throw gives enough warmth under AC without feeling heavy. It is also easy to wash often.

How do I wash a knitted throw?

Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent or use a gentle machine cycle, then dry it flat so it keeps its shape. Hanging a wet knitted throw can stretch it.

How do I store throws in summer?

Wash and fully dry them, fold them loosely and store them in a cotton bag or box with a few dried neem leaves. Avoid sealed plastic, which can trap moisture.
