Soft, stylish and cozy, this reversible throw features two complementing patterns so you never grow tired of looking at it. Perfect for everyday living, its wool and acrylic blend makes it warm to the touch while being easy-care. The multistripes of green, red, yellow and indigo were introduced on the Hudson's Bay Point Blanket at the end of the 18th century. The colours were chosen because they were popular, and easily produced using good colourfast dyes. These four colours are also sometimes known as Queen Anne's colours, since they first became popular during her reign (1702 - 1714). Today, you'll find an assortment of clothing, accessories and home items adorned with the HBC stripes.
