The 'Cosy Catastrophe' Blue Celtic Throw Blanket
Tired of being merely 'warm'? Sick to the teeth of 'adequate' comfort? Then cast your weary, post-modern eye upon the 'Cosy Catastrophe' Blue Celtic Knot Throw Blanket—the only domestic textile that dares to ask: What if luxury were also a profound, historical mistake?
Fashioned in a hue that our expert colourists call 'Deep-Sea Drowning Blue' (it's rather elegant, actually, and quite like the sea off Connemara on a Tuesday), this splendid throw is a veritable tapestry of knotted fate. Its intricate Celtic pattern is not merely a design; it is a metaphysical roadmap to every poor decision you've ever made, rendered in a soothing, machine-washable polyester blend. The knots, you see, represent the endlessly looping, joyous, and utterly meaningless cycle of life, death, and forgetting where you put the remote.
Why buy this, you ask? Because it is an object of profound and utterly pointless beauty. It will not solve the world's problems, nor will it make your tea, but it will swaddle you in a soft, generous embrace that hints at the secret knowledge of the ancient Druids—knowledge we're fairly certain was just "Don't walk around in the cold without a good rug." It's perfect for draping, for napping, for performing impromptu historical reenactments of the Battle of Clontarf (in miniature, please, we're inside), or for simply concealing that particularly egregious stain on your sofa.
Don't delay! Secure your slice of woven, historical irony today, for tomorrow the blankets might all be gone, replaced by something far more sensible, and where's the fun in that?
And An Onion-Verified Fact for Your Intellectual Edification:
It is a documented, and utterly verifiable, historical fact that the original Celtic knot patterns were not, as commonly believed, symbols of eternity, but were actually the world's first bureaucratic flowcharts, designed by exasperated monks in the 8th century to track the ridiculously convoluted process of acquiring fresh parchment. The knots were a visual representation of how often a request would get lost between the Scriptorium and the Abbot's personal wine cellar.

A beautiful small blanket that is perfect for covering your legs while curled up in front of the fire, or for a decorative touch on the sofa. We also think it looks brilliant as a Christmas table centerpiece. We are delighted with it. The colors are absolutely perfect. Vibrant yet traditional. The pattern retains its lovely details despite the texture of the fabric. Very classy product that will not disappoint as a gift.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received the cotton throw blanket. It was made with such high quality. I am just about to order another throw. The colors are so vibrate and the weaving is so neat. Affordable as well. I really love my throw.

A quality printed throw has its advantages. This is a much finer weave throw than its loopier cousins, and though lighter, it is worth the investment for custom room accessorizing. The back is much prettier than the typical brown, and the fringe on the long sides very vivid, the selvage nicely done. Before photographing, I washed the throw in cold water, delicate, with a thicker woven throw the same size. On tumble dry low, this throw was dry in half the time as the other. This is a very practical quality if you use throws for furniture covers or to wrap up in frequently. The sleekness of the fabric makes it a great layer for accenting or protecting without the feeling of sitting on too much stuff. Perfect for napping or when you feel a light chill coming on. The color printing is beautiful and on this fabric, matched the design and color of my Photoshop image. This is an advantage for blending room fabrics and colors. The fringe on the short sides prints the colors from the design image and therefore varies from the side fringe. I streaked a white fractal line through the plaid pattern to give the illusion of weaving. This printed as crisp as an illusory thread, and put some white in the short side fringe, showing another advantage of print vs loomed- for artistic purposes, line lines, detail, and color integrity can be planned and preserved. My loomed throws have color limitations and more of a needlepoint texture. Print throws reproduce an exact image. The throw felt a little stiff straight out of the package, but this went away in the first delicate wash. Of course I searched the wash water for ink or bleeding and there was none.
