Anime Handwoven Tapestry Throw Blanket

This is a decorative piece first and a blanket second, and it is more useful for being honest about that. The construction is woven rather than printed, so the design is built into the surface with a visible texture that catches light across the room, and the tasselled edges finish it in a way a hemmed fleece never quite manages. At 130 by 160 centimetres it is sized for a sofa, a chair, or the end of a bed.

Because it is woven, it hangs well, which opens up uses a plush throw cannot cover. Pinned or hung it works as a wall tapestry above a bed or a desk. Laid out it works as a beach or picnic mat, since sand and grass brush off a woven face easily. Over a sofa it reads as a deliberate layer of texture, and over a bed it doubles as a light bedspread layer.

Two designs are available. The weave gives a moderate weight, warm enough for a cool evening indoors but not intended as a winter bed blanket, so treat it as the layer you reach for over a t-shirt rather than the one you sleep under in January. Machine wash it cool on a gentle cycle, avoid bleach, and dry it flat so the tassels stay straight and the woven edges keep their shape.
