How big is a Biquette Throw Blanket?
Our knit Throw Blankets are 50 by 60 inches, full size for draping over a couch, an armchair, or the end of a bed. In comparison, our Midi Blankets are 36 by 48 inches and Mini Blankets are 30 by 40 inches. We cover more use cases and differences in throw blanket sizes in our throw blanket size guide.
What size knit throw blanket is best for a couch or bed?
A 50 by 60-inch throw is a versatile size for sofas or armchairs. There's enough coverage to wrap very comfortably around one person with extra fabric to share. It's also great for beds, either folded or draped across the foot of a bed, as a decorative accent that adds color, texture, and an extra layer of warmth rather than act as a replacement for a full-size bed blanket.
Are knit throw blankets warm?
Yes, although warmth depends on the fiber and knit construction. Cotton knit throws are breathable and comfortable year-round, while merino wool offers greater insulation for its weight.
What's the difference between knit and woven throw blankets?
Knit blankets use interlocking loops of yarn, giving them natural flexibility, stretch, and a soft drape. Woven blankets use interlaced yarns, creating a more structured fabric with less stretch. Both can be luxurious, but they feel and drape very differently with differences being immediately noticeable.
There's too many options, how do I decide between blankets and brands?
It's important to consider a blanket's fiber grade, size, design, construction, and finishing to decide whether a blanket will last with great quality and stay luxurious.

What are they made from?
All Throw Blankets (and every other Biquette knit) are fully made in small-batches and knitted fully in our Long Island facility with premium, luxurious natural fibers like super soft Egyptian cotton, organic cotton, and extra-fine merino wool.
These fibers are specifically chosen to be gentle and soft against skin, durable through plenty of washing, and provide a subtle luxurious quality that you can tell an immediate difference against synthetic fibers.
After knitting, everything is carefully hand steamed, packaged.
Who designs the patterns?
Our knit designs are intentionally curated and created in collaboration with independent artists, so each piece is an original work you won't find anywhere else.
