Product Type: Throw Blankets

A cashmere throw blanket brings real warmth to the sofa for very little weight, and this one adds wide stripes and a soft fringe. Portolano weaves it from 100% cashmere to 50 by 68 inches, in Camel, which runs through brown, camel and cream, or in Black, which plays shades of gray against deep black bands.

  • Woven, not knit, so it drapes without stretching out of shape.
  • Fringed ends finish the throw the way a good scarf is finished.
  • A longer throw that covers one person from shoulders to feet on the sofa.
  • Two striped colorways for a warm room or a cool one.

Why Cashmere Feels Warm yet Light

A cashmere throw blanket earns its place through warmth per ounce. US labeling law only lets a fiber be called cashmere if it averages 19 microns or finer, finer than most sheep's wool, and a finer fiber packs more tiny pockets of still air into every ounce. You get the warmth of a heavier blanket without the bulk on your lap. Because this one is woven flat rather than knit, it keeps its size after months of being pulled up and tossed back over the arm of the couch.

Fitting a 50 by 68 Throw

Most throws are cut around 50 by 60 inches, so the extra 8 inches of length here is what reaches the feet. Spread over the end of a queen bed, which is 60 inches wide, the 68-inch length hangs about 4 inches over each side, a neat band of stripes. On a king it sits inside the edges as a runner, and on a reading chair it folds into a square that is easy to grab.

Camel or Black Stripes at Home

Camel brings warmth to cream, white and wood: the brown and camel stripes pick up oak floors and leather, and the cream fringe ties back to a pale sofa. Black reads cooler and sharper, its gray bands sitting easily with charcoal, slate and chrome, and the black fringe gives a light sofa a crisp edge.

Keeping the Cashmere Throw Soft

How do you wash a cashmere throw? This one is labeled dry clean only, so it goes to the cleaner rather than the machine. Between cleanings, shake it out and air it by a window, and blot any spill at once with a damp cloth.

Why does new cashmere pill a little? Short fibers work loose in the first weeks of use. Drawing a cashmere comb lightly over the surface takes care of it, and the pilling slows once those loose ends are gone.

How should a cashmere throw be stored? Clean and folded, never hung, in a breathable cotton bag with cedar. Moth larvae go for worn, unwashed wool and cashmere, so clean before storing.

Is a 50 by 68 throw big enough for two? It covers two laps side by side; to wrap two people at once, you need something closer to 60 by 80.

When is cashmere throw season? Interest starts rising in October, tops out in December and fades through spring.
