Gift Guide For Good: The Kind Of Gifts That Give Twice

Q: What is a throw blanket?

A throw blanket is a small blanket that is typically used for decoration or for warmth. Throw blankets are usually made from materials like wool, fleece, or cotton, and they come in a variety of colors and patterns. While they are not as large as a standard bed blanket, throw blankets can still be used to keep you warm on a cold day. They can also be used as a decorative element in your home, adding color and texture to any room. In addition, they make great gifts for loved ones!

Q: What is the difference between a throw blanket and a regular blanket?

It is important to understand that not all blankets are throws. A throw blanket is typically used for decorative purposes or for light warmth. They're often smaller than regular blankets and are usually made from thinner materials. Regular blankets are commonly used to sleep or keep warm during cold weather. Technically blankets are more functional and often provide extra warmth than throws.

Q: Can you sleep with a throw blanket?

Throws are a great way to add warmth to your bed. But can you sleep with a throw blanket? The answer is yes! Throw blankets are lightweight and breathable, so they won't overheat you at night. Plus, they're perfect for snuggling under when you're feeling a little chilly. So go ahead and curl up with a blanket tonight. You'll be sure to sleep soundly.

Q: What size is a throw blanket?

A throw blanket is much smaller than a standard bedspread but larger than a traditional afghan or lap blanket. For example, 60''x80'' is a standard blanket size, although they can vary significantly in height and length.

Q: How can you put a throw blanket on a couch?

There are two main ways to drape a throw blanket over a couch: you can either fold it in half or leave it unfolded. If you choose to fold the blanket, ensure the fold is centered so that the ends hang evenly over each side of the couch. You can tuck the ends underneath the couch cushions or let them hang loose. If you prefer an unfolded look, simply drape the throw blanket over one side of the couch and let it fall onto the seat cushions. You can also experiment with patterns and colors to create a unique look.

Q: How do you wash a throw blanket and keep them soft?

Washing a throw blanket is simple, but you must take care to prevent damage. First, check the label for washing instructions. If the blanket is machine-washable, use a gentle cycle with cold water. Add a mild detergent and wash alone or with other items of similar fabric. To dry, use the lowest heat setting on your dryer or air-dry. If the blanket is dry clean only, take it to a professional cleaner. To keep your blanket soft, avoid using fabric softener. Instead, add ½ cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle or use wool dryer balls. You can also fluff your blanket in the dryer on low heat for 10-15 minutes after it is dry.

Q: Can I put my throw blanket in the dryer?

Most throw blankets are made of materials that can be safely put in the dryer, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers. However, there are a few exceptions. For example, blankets made of silk or cashmere should not be put in the dryer, as the heat can damage the material. Additionally, throws heavily embellished with beads or sequins may also be damaged by the dryer's heat. If you're unsure whether your blanket is safe to put in the dryer, it's always best to check the care label.

Q: How long does a throw blanket take to dry?

Most throw blankets are made from materials that dry relatively quickly compared to regular blankets. For instance, a cotton or wool blanket typically takes less than three hours to dry in a dryer. However, thicker blankets can take more time. Drying outside can take even longer, depending on the weather. While the exact drying time will vary depending on the fabric and the size of the blanket, most throw blankets will be dry within a couple of hours. Of course, weather conditions also play a role, so if it's humid outside, it may take a bit longer for your blanket to dry completely.

Q: Can you wash a throw blanket in the washing machine?

You can wash a throw blanket in the washing machine, but you must take some precautions first. Throw blankets are usually made of delicate materials like wool or cashmere, so it's important to use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. You should also avoid fabric softener, as it can damage the fibers. If your blanket is very large, you may need to wash it in two batches to prevent it from getting caught in the agitator. Also, weighted blankets should be hand washed to maintain their quality.

Q: How do you style a throw blanket?

A throw blanket is a solid way to add a pop of color or texture to any room. But how do you style your throw so it looks its best? Here are a few tips: Fold the blanket in half lengthwise, then drape it over the back of a sofa or chair. Let the ends hang down evenly. To add visual interest, try folding the blanket into a triangular shape and draping it over a chair or table. Let the ends hang down. For a more formal look, try folding the blanket into a rectangle and placing it on top of a sofa or bed. Tuck in the sides and let the ends hang down evenly.
