Throw Blanket, Boho Handmade Indigo Stripes 170x120cm

Soft blue pattern, easy drape, and the relaxed feel of cotton make this handmade indigo throw a simple way to dress a chair, sofa or bed. The deep indigo ground is broken with pale geometric motifs, so it brings texture and rhythm without making the room feel busy.

Indigo pattern with a lived-in softness

• The blue has the depth people love in indigo textiles, shifting gently between darker and lighter areas.
• Pale patterned lines give the throw a hand-worked look, with small irregularities that feel human rather than mechanical.
• The tasselled edge adds movement when it is draped over a chair arm or folded at the end of a bed.
• Its cotton handle suits everyday layering, from a quiet reading corner to a guest room needing more warmth in its styling.
• The pattern is bold enough to anchor a plain sofa, yet soft enough to sit with wood, plants and natural textures.

Cotton, indigo and Indian textile craft

This throw is made from cotton in India as part of the Handmade Indigo Throws range. The fabric is dyed in natural indigo baths, building the blue in layers before the colour develops through drying and oxidation.

The pattern comes from resist textile techniques used to leave parts of the cloth lighter against the indigo ground. The result is decorative, but still relaxed, with the slight variation that belongs to handmade cloth.

Using it around the home

Drape it across a white chair for contrast, fold it over a neutral bedspread, or keep it within reach on a sofa for an extra layer of texture. The indigo and off-white palette works especially well with warm wood, clay pots, linen, cream walls and leafy green plants.

Care for natural indigo cotton

Printed cotton textiles are usually best washed gently in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing, avoid tumble drying, and dry flat or in shade where possible.

Natural indigo can release a little colour in early washes, so wash separately at first and keep it away from pale upholstery while damp. Iron on the reverse on a moderate setting if needed.

Indigo in context

Indigo has a long history in Indian textile work, prized for the way its blue deepens through repeated dyeing and contact with air. Resist methods, including tying, blocking or wax-resist patterning, are used across many textile traditions to hold back colour and create pale motifs on dyed cloth. Here, that craft gives a modern home object its quiet character: blue and white, graphic but softened, with the patience of hand-dyeing visible in the surface.

Common questions

Will every throw look exactly the same?
No. Because this is a handmade indigo textile, small differences in pattern, tone and finish are part of its character.

Is it mainly decorative or for warmth?
It is best thought of as a cotton throw for draping, layering and softening a space, rather than a heavy winter blanket.
