Handmade Indigo Throw Blanket 170x120cm Midnight Heerak

Wrap a sofa, bed or reading chair in the quiet depth of indigo. This handmade cotton throw is made in India, with layered blue tones that bring softness and pattern into a room without making it feel busy.

Deep indigo, made to soften a room

• The blue has that inky, lived-in quality associated with indigo dye, shifting gently as the light changes.
• Its cotton drape suits everyday layering, folded over a chair arm or spread across the end of a bed.
• The handmade finish gives the textile a human character, with subtle variation rather than a factory-perfect sameness.
• Use it to break up plain upholstery, calm a bright room, or add depth to neutral bedding.
• It feels most at home in slow, practical spaces: a morning coffee corner, a quiet bedroom, a sofa kept for reading.

Cotton, indigo and Indian textile craft

This cotton throw is part of a handmade indigo range from India. The fabric is dyed in natural indigo baths, built up in layers to create its blue depth. Resist techniques are used across the range to shape the pattern before the fabric is dried and the indigo develops its characteristic colour.

Living with indigo cotton

Use it as a decorative throw rather than a heavy winter blanket. Drape it where you want a little texture, colour and softness, then fold it away when the room needs to feel lighter.

For care, treat indigo cotton gently. Wash separately in cool water with a mild detergent, avoid wringing, and dry flat or in shade. Indigo textiles can release some colour in early washes, so keep them away from pale fabrics when damp.

The story in the blue

Indigo has a long history in textile traditions across India and many other parts of the world. Its colour is not flat or instant. It is built through repeated dyeing and exposure to air, which gives the blue its layered, softened depth. In a home, that history comes through quietly: not as ornament for its own sake, but as a piece of cloth with time, handwork and patience held in the surface.

Common questions

Will the indigo colour vary from piece to piece?
Yes, handmade indigo textiles can show small differences in tone and finish. That variation is part of the character of the dyeing process.

Can I use it on pale furniture?
Yes, but take care when the throw is damp or freshly washed. Indigo can release colour, especially early on, so let it dry fully before placing it on pale upholstery or bedding.
