Handwoven Cotton Sofa Throw | Multicolour

Every living room has that one spot — the corner of the sofa, the reading chair, the end of the bed — that calls for something soft to reach for. This handwoven cotton throw from Rajasthan is exactly that something. Light, warm enough for an evening in and woven in a palette that works with almost any interior.

About the Craft

Rajasthan has a long tradition of cotton weaving, and this throw is made on handlooms using raw cotton yarn in multiple colours, woven together in a textured diagonal pattern that gives the fabric its distinctive visual depth. The multi-strand weave, which blends blues, mustard, grey and white in close-set stripes, is the kind of surface that rewards a second look — there is considerably more going on in it than a quick glance suggests. The fringed edges are a natural finish of the weave structure, knotted rather than cut, which means they hold up well over time and washing.

Speciality

This throw pulls double duty — it looks intentional draped over a sofa as décor, and it is genuinely comfortable to wrap around yourself while reading or watching television. Not many things manage both convincingly.

How to Care?

Hand wash or machine wash in cold water using a non-bleach detergent. Line dry in shade. Do not tumble dry on high heat.

Simple to care for, easy to live with and made by hand on a loom — this throw is one of those small additions to a home that quietly makes it better.
