Endless array of sofa throws

skatting44 — Thu, 21 Sep 2023 20:38:10 GMT

For the last 2 months have seen an endless array of sofa throws offered by QVC with patterns ranging from autum motifs to Halloween to winter themes. I really have reached my peak of seeing anymore but realize they will likely have numerous more for Christmas .

Anyone buy any of these throws ? I did not need any throws , however bought one that was blue with sunflowers to give as a housewarming gift.

@skatting44 I just bought the Hay and Harvest "Leaves" throw for $13.99 plus $3.50 S&H. My best friend is having her knee done the third week in Oct. I'm going to take her this along with a beef stew. I think she'll love it, because she has to stay in a lounger for the first several days.

What I wanted and was looking for is not what I purchased. Still not sure I'm going to keep.

I purchased from Garnet Hill a cotton twin size blue gray quilted "throw".

What I was hoping for and couldn't find is a quilted puffy-type silk throw ... the one I used to have was ivory and very light weight.

This one may not be so heavy after washing?

I don't know... my place (room) gets cold in the winter ...

It'll get worse before it gets better. The season for "cozy" is just beginning. Throws make fantastic gifts as you don't need a size and many go with any color scheme. Sadly, I've found that every year they seem to get thinner and more cheaply made.

@LTT1. Consider getting an electric throw if your room is quite chilly. I have one in soft velour that is heavenly and warms up fast, appreciated mornings when the house is still cold. Amazon always has a nice selection, as do other retailers.

@Kachina624 @skatting44

Thank you so much for your helpful replies! The electric throw sounds good @Kachina624 !

I love and purchase the Berkshire (plain) throws or the Dennis Basso throws. I buy a new one each year.

I used to have a DB faux fur throw! Really nice!

I agree with Kachina. Unfortunately they do get more cheaply made and thinner every year.

My sofa and love seat (and my bed and various other places) are covered with afghans and a DB faux fur throw. Even draped over bookcases! (looks fab)

I few years ago, I was on an afghan making streak .... every time I made one for charity, I made one for myself.

I do still make them ... but now all go to charity. I ran out of places to put them here@

@LTT1 Thank you for the Garnet Hill recommendation. I've been wanting a throw and hadn't looked there. They're really nice, if somewhat more expensive. I want one for looks more so than warmth.

@ValuSkr

Each time I have splurged and purchased from Garnet Hill I have been pleased. As they advertise, they use a lot of natural fibers!

I have to have a "throw" away. We have so many I have to get rid of some. And yet every year we've gotten more. How many holiday throws can a home store?

Anyone have an answer?

Homeless helpers!

I guess there are not many ways to showcase a throw but it seems ridiculous to me when the hosts wear them like shawls.

I think a shelter might be able to make use of throws.

I think that they might be of some comfort to homeless individuals.

@ALRATIBA I too knit my own "throws" and have more than I will ever use. So happy I learned to knit decades ago.

I recently got the sunflower patterned one. I'm always cold and thought it would be nice for a touch of fall. The kitties love it.
