Dimensions - 48''(W) x 98'' (H) Composition 100% Cotton Wash & Care Instructions Hand wash separately in cold water using a mild detergent. Our throws are wonderfully hand woven by artisans in 100% cotton. They feature intricate patterns and weaves. Each design is woven by a different weaver which gives them a unique personality. The throws are great over a chair or sofa, or used as bed runners. They add texture to a minimal interior or can be mixed with our cushions to great effect. All throws are artisan made on wooden looms by craftspeople in a rural community in the Western Province of Sri Lanka. We have developed an inspiring program in order to keep this heritage craft alive through introducing new patterns and techniques. Woven through generations, the unique practice of handloom was once taught on temple grounds to villagers looking for a new source of income. Now, our highly skilled artisans weave the natural yarns of their forebears with astonishing dexterity. This makes each piece wonderfully unique & your choice contributes to their livelihoods, cause the way you live, is the way you give! Show more
