Handwoven Decorative Throws
The patterns for these beautiful handwoven throws are adapted from coverlets woven in the 1800's. Many coverlets were designed and woven by German weavers who settled in the Pennsylvania area.
The background fabric is 100% cotton and the pattern is woven with 100% wool. It is a soft blanket and would be perfect to ward off the chill of a cold night. Keep one within easy reach for afternoon naps this winter.
Since I am on the tall side, I have trouble finding nice throws that are long enough. These decorative throws measure about 47" x 75" to cover all of you.

Setting the loom up for weaving throws is the most time consuming part of the process. I weave the throws in batches of 10 at a time. When the loom is set up, I am able to weave a throw in the pattern and color of your choice.
I'm not sure when I will be weaving more of these. But if you are interested in having one woven to your specifications, please contact me.
Most throws are woven with a natural color cotton in the background for both the warp and weft. Two of the throws shown above were woven with a different color background weft. If you like the 16 Point Star Throws in Midnight Blue w/gold or the Midnight Blue w/ Teal & Lime, add a comment on your order and I can weave your throw with either of those color options instead of the natural color cotton.Care of Decorative Throws
Hand wash and Air dry.
If you trust your washing machine's gentle cycle not to felt wool items, this throw can be machine washed. If your machine is too rough on fabrics, wash the throw in the bath tub, spin it out in your machine and then hang over the shower rod to dry. Do not dry in the dryer. This will cause the wool to felt.
