Hand-woven cotton and woollen throws from Kutch, Gujarat
Every throw in this collection is spun and woven by hand from natural wool in Kutch, a region of Gujarat with a long tradition of weaving. The wool has a warm, slightly textured feel that you only get from hand-spinning. The woven stripes, zigzag bands and borders are made on the loom rather than printed, and each piece finishes in a fringe of hand-knotted tassels. Because they’re made by hand, no two are exactly alike.
Colour and pattern
The range runs from rich, saturated colour, such as peacock blue, burnt orange and grass green, to quieter natural shades in cream, brown, tobacco and grey. The bold throws work well as a single piece of colour in a neutral room, or layered into a bright, collected scheme. The natural tones suit country, Scandinavian and modern interiors.
Throws, blankets and curtains
These throws are generous in size and warm enough to use as a bed throw, a sofa blanket or a shawl on a cold evening. They are also substantial enough to hang as curtains or blinds, where the thick wool helps to keep out draughts and adds a handmade texture at a window.
Caring for your throw
Wool is naturally resilient and doesn’t need frequent washing. Air it regularly, spot clean marks and dry clean when needed.
