Dark Blue Outdoor Throw Blanket - Luxury Outdoor Living

Details at a Glance

This 50-by-60-inch navy outdoor throw uses polyester fiber engineered to resist UV degradation, fading, and mildew across seasons of patio use. The handloomed basketweave outdoor throw blanket in dark blue is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Textured polyester yarns hold warmth without the bulk of indoor fleece, and corner tassels finish each edge with transitional detail.

Will This Navy Throw Fade in Direct Sun?

Polyester fiber resists UV rays and color loss far better than cotton or wool, so the navy stays saturated through summer. The handloomed basketweave construction distributes dye evenly through the yarn, minimizing the uneven bleaching you see on cheaper woven throws. Covered or partially shaded placement -- draped over outdoor accent chairs or tucked onto a bench -- prolongs vibrancy longest, but this material is built for open-air use where an indoor throw would streak within weeks.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

Polyester resists moisture and mildew, so the throw can live on a covered porch year-round without rotting. Rain that hits it won't pool like it does in cotton; the fiber sheds water and dries quickly when laid flat. For winter storage in climates with heavy snow or ice, bring it indoors to a dry closet -- polyester won't mold in storage the way natural fibers do. Machine wash separately in cold water at season's end, remove promptly, and lay flat to dry before folding it away.

How Do You Layer This on a Patio or Deck?

Drape the 60-inch length over the arm of a deep-seat sofa or fold it lengthwise at the foot of a chaise so guests can pull it up when the sun drops. Pair navy with lighter blues or sand tones in your outdoor accessories to keep the palette coastal, or layer it over neutrals if your outdoor wall art already carries bold color. The basketweave texture and corner tassels add depth without pattern, so the throw anchors a seating group the way a solid rug does indoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is polyester the best material for an outdoor blanket?

Polyester and acrylic resist UV rays, moisture, and mildew better than cotton or wool, and they stay soft through dozens of washes. This handloomed polyester throw combines weather resistance with the loft you want in a layering piece.

Will the dark blue color streak if it gets rained on?

No -- the fiber is dyed before weaving, so rain won't leach color the way it can with surface-printed throws. Polyester sheds water quickly and dries flat without watermarks.

Can you leave this throw on a porch all winter?

On a covered porch, yes -- polyester resists mildew and won't rot. In regions with heavy snow or freezing rain, store it indoors in a dry space to prevent ice buildup in the weave.

How do you clean an outdoor throw blanket?

Machine wash this one separately in cold water, remove it promptly, and lay it flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or iron -- heat can melt polyester fibers or set wrinkles permanently.

Does this throw work on a boat or near salt water?

Polyester resists salt air and won't corrode, though you'll want to rinse it with fresh water after coastal exposure and let it dry flat before storing. The handloomed construction holds up better to salt spray than glued or heat-bonded throws.

Is assembly required, and what does shipping include?

The throw ships folded and ready to use -- no assembly. Free standard curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
