Choosing cotton throws
Cotton throws are light enough for summer evenings and warm enough to layer over a duvet in winter, and they wash easily at home. Tikauo makes a handwoven picnic blanket throw in recycled cotton, hand screen-printed with a white floral design on a beige base. So Just Shop sells the Viraj handloom throw in breathable cotton, with a zig zag pattern and tassels, and the Animana black diamond throw. Before a brand joins Ziracle, we check its materials and how its products are made. A throw on the sofa also protects the cushions, and the picnic blanket doubles as a rug for the garden or the park.
Supima cotton sheets and duvet covers
SilverGuard makes Supima cotton sheets, a Supima cotton duvet cover and a pillowcase, all with a sateen weave and its IONIC+ silver thread. Supima is a long-staple cotton grown in the USA, known for being soft and dense. Sateen feels smooth and cool against the skin, and it drapes well over a duvet. Check the bed size on each listing, as fitted sheets vary in depth, so measure your mattress before you order. Pair a duvet cover with two pillowcases for a matching set.
Llama wool blankets
So Just Shop sells a brown blanket with a fringe and a knitted blanket, both made from baby llama wool that is collected by brushing the animals. Llama wool is soft and warm, so these suit a reading chair or the end of the bed. They are not vegan, so pick a cotton throw if you avoid animal fibres. Fold wool blankets rather than hanging them, so they keep their shape.
Caring for bedding and throws
Wash cotton throws and sheets at 30 or 40 degrees and dry them on a line, which keeps the fibres soft and saves energy. Hand wash or dry clean llama wool, following the care label. Shake throws out after washing, so tassels and fringes do not tangle. A cotton throw makes a thoughtful Christmas present for a new home. Cushions & Covers has cushions to match, Pyjamas has organic cotton nightwear, Sleep Support has eye masks and pillows, and How to sleep better has tips for a better night.
