This is a knitted wool throw in Merlot, a deep red with a little brown in it rather than anything bright. Knitted cloth behaves differently from woven. It has give, it folds without a hard crease, and it settles into whatever it is laid over. The surface is slightly dimpled where the stitches sit, so the colour moves a little as the light changes across the day. We like that in a room that is otherwise plain, because it adds depth without adding pattern.
The throw is by de Le Cuona and is sold by the each. It is 105 cm wide. We have not been given a length, a fibre blend or a place of manufacture, so we will not guess at them here. If any of those matter for your project, ask us and we will confirm them against the piece before you order. What we can say is that the knitted construction is what makes it behave as a throw rather than a flat blanket.
We tend to use a throw like this to finish a sofa that is already upholstered in a quiet neutral, where a single patch of dark red gives the eye somewhere to land. Folded across the foot of a bed, it works in a bedroom with oatmeal or stone linen. A reading chair is the other obvious home. Merlot sits well with deep greens, chocolate browns and warm greys, and it is particularly good against natural oak and walnut.
There is nothing to make up here, which is part of its appeal. Because the colour is strong, we would check it against your upholstery and walls in daylight before committing, and suggest laying it out somewhere you can see it at both morning and evening. Look at the care instructions before cleaning, as knitted wool rarely likes a hot wash. Store it folded flat or draped, not hung from a hook, so the knit keeps its shape.
