The Northwest Wilderness Raschel Throw

A Raschel throw is a type of knit blanket known for its high-pile, plush texture and durability. It feels exceptionally soft and thick, offering a substantial weight that makes it warmer than a standard fleece throw.

Yes, its durable construction makes it versatile enough for outdoor activities like picnics or sitting on a patio. However, because it is made of polyester, it is best to keep it dry and avoid using it on rough, abrasive surfaces that could snag the fabric.

To maintain the plush texture, machine wash the blanket on a cold, delicate cycle. Always tumble dry on a gentle, low-heat setting to prevent the fibers from matting or melting.

Yes, the decorative binding is more than just an aesthetic detail; it reinforces the edges of the blanket. This prevents fraying and helps the throw maintain its shape even after repeated use and washing.

Raschel throws typically feature the design on the front side, while the reverse side is usually a solid, coordinating color or a muted version of the pattern. This blanket is designed primarily for display on the patterned side.
