The Powell Craft range of throws uses the technique ofKanthaa running stitch, one of the oldest forms of Indian embroidery, which was traditionally used in West Bengal and Bangladesh. The throws are 100% printed cotton with a self-coloured backing and are embellished with lines of running stitches. A standard blanket double, they are perfect for sofas or as bedspreads, bringing an injection of colour, print and texture to a room. This bold large-scale blue carnation print is a sophisticated choice; white frilly petalled carnations, exotic yellow blooms, and blossoms look beautiful against a deep blue background. Branches garlanded with budding flowers and detailed leaves in shades of green and pinks with highlights of yellow twist through the design.
