Is it worth it?

Yes, for a mum who already has a fleece throw and would notice the difference. The LYHome throw is 80% merino wool with nylon for strength, 140 x 200cm, and it reverses from mustard to light grey. The catch is in the care: the listing's details claim it can be machine washed, hand washed and dry cleaned, while the brand's own answers say avoid washing it and dry clean only. Take the brand's word. Note too that the 200cm includes the fringes, and only four were left when we checked.

Is it for you?

Get it if
  • A mum who already owns a synthetic throw and would like the real thing
  • A reading chair or the foot of a double bed
  • Anyone who likes a colour that can be turned to the plainer side
Skip it if
  • Anyone who wants to wash it at home: the brand advises dry cleaning
  • Someone who wants pure wool: it is 20% nylon
  • A strictly neutral room, unless the grey side always faces up

The honest read

What wins you over
  • Real wool content stated: 80% merino, 20% nylon
  • 140 x 200cm, bigger than most sofa throws
  • Reversible, mustard on one side and light grey on the other
  • Woven in Ukraine by a family business, and dispatched by Amazon
Where it gives
  • The care instructions contradict each other: the details table lists machine wash, hand wash and dry clean only together, and the brand's own answers say avoid washing and dry clean
  • The 200cm length includes a 5cm fringe at each end, so the woven part is nearer 190cm
  • Only four were left at the time of checking

A fringed woven wool throw, mustard yellow on one side and light grey on the other, folded to show both faces
How much wool is in the LYHome merino throw?
The listing gives 80% merino wool and 20% nylon. The nylon is there for strength, so it is a wool blend rather than pure wool.
Can the LYHome merino wool throw be machine washed?
The listing contradicts itself. Its details table includes machine washing, but the brand's own answers say avoid washing and dry clean only. Follow the brand.
How big is the LYHome merino throw?
140 x 200cm, and that includes a 5cm fringe at each end. It covers a sofa seat or the foot of a double bed.
