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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoven, not knit\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it drapes without stretching out of shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFringed ends\u003c\/strong\u003e finish the throw the way a good scarf is finished.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA longer throw\u003c\/strong\u003e that covers one person from shoulders to feet on the sofa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo striped colorways\u003c\/strong\u003e for a warm room or a cool one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Cashmere Feels Warm yet Light\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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. \u003cstrong\u003eYou get the warmth of a heavier blanket without the bulk on your lap\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a 50 by 68 Throw\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost 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, \u003cstrong\u003ethe 68-inch length hangs about 4 inches over each side\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCamel or Black Stripes at Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamel 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping the Cashmere Throw Soft\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you wash a cashmere throw?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does new cashmere pill a little?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should a cashmere throw be stored?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a 50 by 68 throw big enough for two?\u003c\/strong\u003e It covers two laps side by side; to wrap two people at once, you need something closer to 60 by 80.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen is cashmere throw season?\u003c\/strong\u003e Interest starts rising in October, tops out in December and fades through spring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portolano","offers":[{"title":"CAMEL","offer_id":68282566115629,"sku":"75061SC-PCM-ONE","price":347.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK","offer_id":68282567557421,"sku":"75061SC-877-ONE","price":347.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/portolano-striped-cashmere-throw-blanket-camel-sofa.jpg?v=1794469729","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/striped-cashmere-throw-blanket","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
