Fiber Content & Care Instructions
100% Polyester Chenille Construction
Throw It Goes features premium polyester chenille fibers engineered for durability and softness. Unlike cotton chenille that can pill or flatten over time, our polyester blend maintains its plush texture through repeated washing and daily use. The synthetic fiber also provides consistent stitch definition without the splitting common in some natural fiber chenilles.
The yarn is machine washable in cool or warm water on a gentle cycle. We recommend tumble drying on low heat or laying flat to dry for best results. The polyester content means your finished throws resist shrinking, fading, and stretching, making them perfect for family room blankets that see regular use.
Color Palette & Collection Coordination
Our Throw It Goes collection spans 16 carefully curated solid colors. The palette includes versatile neutrals like Cream, Gray Heather, and Charcoal for timeless designs, alongside rich accent shades such as Teal, Burgundy, Mustard, and Navy.
We designed these colors to coordinate beautifully with other yarns in our designer collections for makers who enjoy combining textures in a single project. The solid colorways provide excellent contrast when paired with variegated or self-striping yarns from our Yarntopia line for border accents or color-block designs.

What people are saying
Your Questions About Throw It Goes Yarn & Patterns
For a standard throw measuring approximately 50" x 60", you'll need 6-8 skeins of Throw It Goes depending on your gauge and pattern choice. Simple garter stitch or stockinette patterns typically require 6-7 skeins, while more textured designs with cables or basketweave stitches may need 7-8 skeins.
Our free Yarn Bee Throw It Goes patterns include exact yardage requirements for each design, so you can purchase the precise amount needed. We always recommend buying one extra skein to ensure you have enough for your specific tension and to guarantee dye lot matching.
We don't recommend Throw It Goes for most garments due to its super bulky weight and chenille texture, which can create heavy, stiff fabric in wearable items. The yarn is specifically engineered for home décor projects like blankets, pillows, and baskets where substantial weight and plush texture are desirable.
For wearables with similar softness in a more appropriate weight, our <a href="/chloe/">Chloe</a> yarn offers chenille texture in a worsted weight that's ideal for cardigans, cowls, and shawls. If you want to experiment with Throw It Goes for accessories, loose infinity scarves or oversized cowls can work well for cold-weather pieces.
Yes, Throw It Goes is exceptionally beginner-friendly. The bulky weight means you see progress quickly, which keeps new knitters and crocheters motivated. The chenille texture is forgiving of minor tension inconsistencies, so your finished fabric will still look polished even if your stitches aren't perfectly uniform.
Our collection of free patterns includes several designs marked as beginner-level, with simple stitch combinations and clear instructions. We recommend starting with our Quick Weekend Throw pattern if you're new to blanket-making. The yarn doesn't split easily during work, which is a common frustration beginners face with some other fiber types.
We recommend US size 11 (8mm) needles or larger for knitting projects, and size M/N (9mm) to P (11.5mm) crochet hooks. The specific size depends on your personal tension and desired fabric density.
For throw blankets, most makers find US 13 (9mm) knitting needles or size N (9mm) crochet hooks produce beautiful drape without creating overly loose, floppy fabric. Always work a gauge swatch before starting your project. Your finished fabric should feel soft and pliable when you scrunch it in your hand, not stiff or board-like.
Our complete library of free Throw It Goes patterns is available on our website in the pattern section. You'll find downloadable PDFs for beginner through advanced skill levels, including throw blankets, pillows, and home décor items.
Each pattern includes complete materials list, gauge specifications, finished dimensions, and step-by-step instructions with stitch diagrams where helpful. Popular downloads include the Quick Weekend Throw, Chevron Afghan, Basketweave Blanket, and Color Block Modern Throw. All patterns are tested by our design team and optimized specifically for this yarn's unique characteristics.
Throw It Goes is machine washable for easy care. Wash your finished items in cool or warm water on a gentle cycle, using mild detergent. We recommend tumble drying on low heat or laying flat to dry.
The polyester chenille construction resists shrinking, fading, and pilling, so your throws will maintain their softness and appearance through regular use and washing. Avoid using fabric softener, which can leave residue on the chenille fibers. For best results, shake out your blanket after drying to fluff the chenille texture before folding or using.
While you can combine Throw It Goes with other yarns for creative effects, we recommend pairing it only with other bulky-weight yarns to maintain consistent gauge. The chenille texture works well for main blanket bodies, with our <a href="/cozy-occasion/">Cozy Occasion</a> yarn creating beautiful textured borders or color accents.
For multi-yarn projects, ensure all components have similar care requirements—machine washable yarns should be paired together to avoid complications with laundering your finished item. Our design team can provide guidance on successful yarn pairings if you contact us with your specific project idea.
