The Natural Comfort of a Mulberry Silk Throw

Mulberry silk provides warmth without the dense, weighty feel of wool or heavier woven blankets. Its breathable fibres help disperse excess heat in warmer conditions while retaining warmth when temperatures fall, making it well suited to year-round use. Naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, silk is also a comfortable choice for allergy-sensitive households.

A silk bed throw can alter the look of a bedroom without overwhelming the existing scheme. Fold it precisely across the foot of the bed for a tailored appearance, or drape it loosely to introduce softness and dimension. Less structured than a full bedspread, it can be restyled or moved between rooms with ease.

Silk throws for sofas work just as well. Draped across the back, one adds colour and breaks up a broad expanse of upholstery; folded over an arm, it stays close at hand for cooler evenings while keeping the room looking composed.

Gingerlily has specialised in silk for more than twenty years, applying that expertise to pieces intended to be used as well as admired. Each luxury throw balances the beauty of mulberry silk with the comfort and versatility required for everyday living.

FAQs About Silk Blankets & Throws

What size silk throw do I need for my bed?

A 240 x 240cm silk throw is generously proportioned for styling across standard UK double, king and super king beds – the final look will vary depending on the size and depth of your mattress. Gingerlily's silk throws for beds are all available in this size.

Can you wash a silk blanket in a washing machine?

No, silk blankets should not be machine washed unless their care label specifically states otherwise. Water, heat and agitation can damage delicate silk fibres and affect the blanket’s shape, colour and lustre. Gingerlily’s mulberry silk blankets are dry clean only and should always be professionally cleaned. For further advice, read Gingerlily’s definitive guide to silk bedding and linen care.

How should I store a mulberry silk throw when it is not in use?

Store a mulberry silk throw clean, completely dry and loosely folded in a cool place away from damp and direct sunlight. A breathable cotton storage bag will protect it from dust while allowing air to circulate; avoid sealed plastic packaging, which can trap moisture. Refolding the throw occasionally will also prevent permanent creases from forming.
