What does the patchwork on this set look like?
The throw is built on a pink and magenta ground, with many small patches carrying thread embroidery in blue, green, yellow and teal. A pink tassel fringe runs along the edge, and the cushion covers are made to match, so the set reads as one piece on the sofa.
What kind of room does it suit?
Its pink base brings warmth, and the small multicolour patches add plenty of detail up close. It sits well against white, cream or wooden furniture, and with plain walls it becomes the main point of colour in the room. On a sofa that is already patterned, it can feel busy.
What comes in the set?
There are two options. The 3-seater set has one three-seater sofa throw and 3 cushion covers. The 5-seater set has one three-seater throw, two single-seater throws for a 3+1+1 arrangement, and 5 cushion covers.
What are the sizes?
The three-seater throw measures 27x68 inches, each single-seater throw is 27x30 inches, and the cushion covers are 16x16 inches. Measure the seat and back of your sofa to see how you would like the throw to fall.
How do I care for it?
Dry cleaning is preferred. If you would rather wash it at home, hand wash it gently with a mild detergent. Wash it separately from other clothes and linen, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun.
Who makes it?
It is handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Keshav, and comes to us directly from his embroidery cooperative. The work is Kambadiya patchwork in cotton, with colourful fabrics, embroidery and tassels brought together by hand.
