FAQ
What does 'recycled cotton' actually mean?
It means the fabric is made from pre-consumer or post-consumer cotton waste – things like discarded clothing, factory offcuts, or used textiles that have been reprocessed into new yarn. This diverts waste from landfills and reduces the need to grow virgin cotton.
Are these throws suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely! Recycled cotton is naturally softer than conventional cotton as it’s often a blend of shorter fibres, resulting in a smoother texture. It’s less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions compared to some other fabrics.
How do I care for my recycled cotton throw?
We recommend washing your throw at 30°C using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat, or hang-dry for best results to maintain the fabric's softness and prevent shrinkage.
Are these throws suitable for use in bed?
While they are incredibly soft and warm, we recommend using them primarily as throws or blankets rather than a primary bedding item. Their weave isn’t quite robust enough for constant pressure against your body during sleep.
What colours are currently available?
Currently, we have throws in shades of Charcoal Grey, Oatmeal Beige, Sky Blue and Forest Green. Stock levels may vary, so check the individual product listings for availability.
Are these blankets suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, we don’t recommend using these throws outdoors due to potential fading from sunlight exposure and the risk of water damage. They're best kept indoors for optimal comfort and longevity.
What is the thread count of these recycled cotton throws?
The thread count varies slightly between different designs, but most fall within the range of 180-250. This provides a good balance of softness and durability – higher thread counts don't always equate to greater quality.
Are these blankets hypoallergenic?
Recycled cotton is naturally less likely to harbour dust mites and allergens than some other fabrics, making it a suitable choice for those with mild allergies. However, we recommend washing them regularly to maintain hygiene.
What size throws are available?
We offer throws in various sizes: Small (50x60 inches), Medium (60x80 inches) and Large (70x90 inches). Choose the size that best suits your needs and space.
Can I return this throw if it’s not to my liking?
Yes, you can return items within 30 days of receipt following Amazon's standard returns policy. Please ensure the item is unused and in its original packaging.
