Kay Grey Plaid Outdoor Throw Blanket - Weather Resistant Patio Pillow

Details at a Glance

Recycled polyester PET resists mildew, dries quickly after moisture exposure, and holds yarn-dyed color against fading better than untreated cotton or wool -- making this material the workhorse of patio textiles. The Kay Grey Plaid Outdoor Throw Blanket, a 50x60-inch handloomed throw in recycled polyester, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The medium-weight construction wraps around adults comfortably for fire-pit evenings or drapes over lounge seating when the temperature drops.

Will This Blanket Fade in Direct Sun?

Yarn-dyed polyester PET locks pigment into each fiber during manufacturing, so the grey plaid won't bleach out after one summer the way surface-dyed cottons can. Extended full-sun exposure over several seasons may cause gradual lightening, but you can rotate the throw periodically to keep the color even. The synthetic fiber also resists UV breakdown that makes natural fabrics brittle, so the weave stays intact year after year.

How Do You Store It Over Winter?

Spot-clean any dirt or pollen with mild detergent and water, blotting gently with a soft cloth, then let the throw air-dry completely before folding. Store indoors in a breathable cotton bag or on a closet shelf -- polyester PET won't attract mildew in a dry space the way wool or down can. Avoid machine washing, which can stress the hand-twisted fringe and distort the handloomed construction.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 50x60-inch size covers a deep lounge chair or wraps two people on a loveseat, and the storm-cloud grey pairs cleanly with the neutral tones in most outdoor pillows. Layer it over sectional cushions alongside outdoor accessories like lanterns and planters, or drape it across the back of outdoor accent chairs in a screened porch. The natural yarn-dyed palette also works indoors -- toss it over a reading chair or bedroom bench when you want the same texture year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The recycled polyester resists mildew and moisture, but prolonged rain exposure isn't recommended -- bring it inside during heavy weather or cover it with a waterproof furniture cover to protect the handloomed weave.

Is it suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- synthetic polyester PET won't corrode or stiffen in salt air the way metal-threaded textiles can, and it rinses clean if ocean spray settles on the fibers.

Will the fringe unravel over time?

The warp ends are hand-twisted and knotted to create self-fringe without hardware fasteners, so they stay secure through normal use; avoid snagging on rough surfaces or pet claws.

What makes recycled polyester PET eco-friendly?

The fiber is made from post-consumer plastic bottles diverted from landfills, reducing petroleum demand and giving waste material a second life as durable outdoor textile.

How do you spot-clean this throw blanket?

Blot stains with a soft cloth dampened in mild detergent and water, working from the outside in, then air-dry flat; never machine-wash or the handloomed construction may distort.

Does this throw blanket come with free shipping?

Yes -- LOOMLAN Outdoor ships this throw free to the continental United States via standard curbside delivery.
