After Testing a Dozen Throw Blankets, I’ve Found the One I’m Using All Summer
It’s no secret that I love being cozy all year long and, since I’ve been working from home, comfort has become even more of a top priority. I’ve talked at length about my favorite pillows, comforters, slippers, and more. I even have two spa robes I swap throughout the week — one for nighttime lounging and the other for daytime. That said, in my book, it’s hard to beat a great throw blanket. While a dreamy, ultra-plush blanket is right up my alley, I don’t overlook lightweight options either. They’re often the better option for the warmer spring and summer months, when temperatures aren’t as cold but you still want to wrap up. They’re also easier to bring along when you travel and want to have a piece of home with you.
Muslin Comfort is a reader- and editor-favorite brand for breezy comforters and throws that’s even earned a spot on AT’s Best List. There, you’ll find a variety of lightweight options that are ideal for hot sleepers and warm weather alike. I’ve tried and loved the 365 Blanket, so when I had the chance to wrap up in their Fringe Breeze Throw, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by.
Oversized Fringe Breeze Throw
What Is the Oversized Fringe Breeze Throw?
Muslin Comfort’s Breeze Throw, available both with fringe and without, is an extra lightweight version of the brand’s best-selling 365 Blanket. Sporting a subtle waffle-weave texture, the pre-shrunk blanket is made with 100% pure cotton muslin that gives it a breathable, airy quality. It also means that the throw gets softer with every wash. Although the Fringe Breeze Throw is half the thickness of the 365 Blanket, it’s no less durable or cozy. Plus, thanks to its moisture-wicking capability, you can nap peacefully without waking up drenched in sweat. At 80” x 60”, the Fringe Breeze Throw is available in 14 versatile colors, but certain shades and patterns sell out quickly, so if you see one you like, it’s a good idea to grab it while you still can!
Why I Love the Oversized Fringe Breeze Throw
Despite being labeled as oversized, the Fringe Breeze Throw is still pretty transportable, which is a huge plus. When I travel, I prefer to bring my own sleep mask, silk pillowcase, towels, and blankets as often as I can. So, when I recently took a road trip to Austin, this blanket was one of the first things I packed. As someone who also has a 365 Blanket, I can confirm that the Fringe Breeze Throw is conveniently thinner without stripping it of its quality. I could easily fold and roll it up to fit in my duffel with room to spare.
The Fringe Breeze Throw has a soft and smooth feel that’s subtly textured from its waffle-weave design. It’s the same size as a standard queen-size mattress, which gives me plenty of room to snuggle up alone while also being large enough to share. What I love most is this blanket’s breathability. Because it’s so lightweight, I can use it in warmer months without wanting to store it away. Additionally, the fringe detail adds a touch of style that takes it beyond your average throw. I’m already looking forward to many days ahead with this blanket in tow outdoors, on the road, and while lounging outside when the weather’s just right.
