Heavyweight Sherpa Fleece Cosy Blanket

Most blankets are one texture doing one job. This one is two — flannel fleece on the face, sherpa on the back — so it works as whichever side the night calls for.

The details that make it work

The flannel side is smooth and cool to the touch when you first get in; the sherpa side is deep-piled and holds warmth close, closer to the feel of wool than most synthetic linings manage. Together they add real weight, which is the thing thinner throws can't fake — this is a blanket built for the point in winter when a single layer stops being enough.

Machine washable on cold and safe to tumble dry on low, so the weight doesn't come with the maintenance that heavier natural fibres usually demand.

Where it fits in

Over the end of a bed for the coldest months, or living permanently on the sofa as the blanket that actually gets used rather than just folded for show. The four tones here are the quieter end of the range — the ones that sit into a room instead of announcing themselves.
