Choosing the right size mohair throw comes down to one simple question: where will you use it? The Glamorous Goat throws are available in three sizes. The Small (130cm x 110cm) is ideal for draping over an armchair, using as a lap throw, or wrapping around a child. The Large (180cm x 130cm) is the most versatile size, covering a sofa generously and wrapping a full-grown adult from shoulders to feet. The King (240cm x 220cm) is designed for beds and provides a sumptuous layer of warmth across a king or queen mattress. Read on for the full breakdown so you can shop with confidence.

What sizes does The Glamorous Goat offer?
All Glamorous Goat throws are woven from 100% kid mohair, the extraordinarily soft fibre shorn from young Angora goats on our family farm in South Africa. The same luxurious fibre comes in three distinct sizes, so whether you are looking for a statement piece for the living room or a generous bed layer, there is an option to suit.
- Small (130cm x 110cm / approximately 51" x 43"): a compact throw perfect for single-person use on a chair or sofa arm.
- Large (180cm x 130cm / approximately 71" x 51"): the most popular size, generous enough to drape over a full sofa or wrap fully around an adult body.
- King (240cm x 220cm / approximately 94" x 87"): a full bedspread-sized throw, ideal for king or queen beds and for couples who want to share.
Not every colourway is available in every size, so it is worth checking the individual product page if a specific colour is important to you.
Which throw size is right for a sofa?
For most sofas, the Large (180cm x 130cm) is the ideal choice. Draped lengthways across a two or three-seater, it reaches from one armrest to the other with room to spare. Folded in thirds and laid over the back of the sofa, it creates the kind of effortlessly styled look you see in interior design magazines. Pulled off the back and wrapped around your shoulders on a cold evening, it covers you from neck to knee.
If you have a particularly wide sectional, or if two people regularly share the sofa, it is worth considering whether a King size would serve you better. The King will not fold as neatly for display purposes, but it offers genuine shared warmth that a single Large throw cannot match.
A vibrant, jewel-toned throw in kid mohair. Available in Small and Large. Adds instant warmth and colour to any sofa.
What is the best size for an armchair or lap use?
If your primary use is an armchair, a reading nook, or tucking one around your legs on the sofa, the Small (130cm x 110cm) is a brilliant choice. It is a generous lap throw that folds into a neat square when not in use and drapes elegantly over the arm of a chair without pooling on the floor.
The Small is also an excellent choice as a gift for children or as a travel companion. Folded, it fits into a tote bag or carry-on case, and the warmth-to-weight ratio of kid mohair means it performs like a much heavier blanket without the bulk.
If you tend to pull a throw all the way up to your shoulders while sitting, or if you are taller than average, consider moving up to the Large. It offers the same cosy experience with significantly more coverage.
Earthy, warm tones inspired by the Central Otago landscape. Available in Small and Large sizes.
Which throw size works best on a bed?
For a bed, the King size (240cm x 220cm) is the obvious answer. Laid across the foot of a king or queen bed, it adds a layer of insulating warmth that makes a real difference on cold winter nights without the weight of an extra duvet. Because mohair is a naturally temperature-regulating fibre, it keeps you warm without making you overheat, which is why so many people choose it as a transitional layer for the shoulder seasons as well.
A Large throw (180cm x 130cm) works beautifully on a single bed as an accent layer, or across the width of a double bed purely for decoration and a little extra warmth at the feet. For full bed coverage on a double or larger, we recommend the King.
A timeless, versatile grey that works with any interior palette. Available in Small, Large and King sizes.

Frequently asked questions
What is the standard size for a throw blanket in New Zealand?
Most throw blankets sold in New Zealand measure approximately 130cm x 110cm to 180cm x 130cm. The Glamorous Goat Large throw (180cm x 130cm) sits at the generous end of the standard range, making it one of the more substantial sofa throws available.
Will a Large mohair throw cover a two-seater sofa?
Yes. The Large (180cm x 130cm) covers the seat and back of a standard two-seater sofa when draped lengthways, with fabric to spare. For a three-seater, it works best folded over one end or draped across the back as a styling layer.
Can I use a Large throw on a king bed?
You can, though it will not reach from side to side on a king-sized mattress. The Large is best used as a decorative accent layer at the foot of the bed. For full coverage across a king bed, we recommend the King size (240cm x 220cm).
Do Glamorous Goat throws shrink after washing?
When cared for correctly (hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water with a mild wool wash), Glamorous Goat mohair throws retain their shape and size beautifully. You can read our full care guide on Mohair Care 101.
Are all colours available in all sizes?
Not always. Some colourways are available in Small and Large only, while others come in all three sizes including King. We recommend checking the individual product page to confirm which sizes are in stock for your preferred colour.
