According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ehow.com\/info_8037354_difference-between-throws-blankets-afghans.html\">eHow Home<\/a>, it usually comes in one size, about 50 inches by 60 inches.\u00a0 If the size varies greatly from this, it should be indicated on the packaging. Throws have several intended purposes. Often, the primary purpose is decoration. Many throws have beautiful patterns or intricate, tapestry-like designs that can be displayed in a living area. Throws can be draped over couches, chairs, the end of beds, hung on blanket racks or even hung on a wall. Throws are also used to provide warmth and comfort while relaxing on a couch or chair.\u00a0 They are made from a wide variety of materials. Fleece throws are very popular for warmth and comfort. A simple fleece throw can be made by tying together the fringed edges of two pieces of fleece fabric.
