Like the weight of a hand-knit sweater pulled from the back of a chair: the Chess Knit Throw begins in that familiar comfort, its check pattern moving like shifting shadows across aged barnwood, like footprints pressed into well-worn trails.

Chunky-knit from a wool and acrylic blend, it measures 50 by 60 inches with a thick, plush hand that holds its shape. Choose from Gray, Natural, Slate, Taupe, Navy, or Black.

Machine washable. It is the throw that ends up in everyone's lap, the one that never quite makes it back to the basket.
