Know before you buy
This throw is not machine washable. To maintain the integrity of the handwoven yak wool, we recommend professional dry cleaning only.
Yak wool is known for its exceptional warmth and softness, often compared to cashmere. However, because it is a natural, handspun fiber, those with extreme wool sensitivities may find it slightly textured compared to synthetic materials.
The throw measures 105 cm by 200 cm, or approximately 42 inches by 78 inches. Its generous length makes it well-suited for draping over the end of a bed or layering on a sofa.
No, this throw is not hypoallergenic. It is crafted from 100% natural yak wool, which may trigger reactions in individuals with specific wool or animal fiber allergies.
The grand herringbone weave provides a structured, geometric aesthetic while maintaining a flexible drape. It adds a subtle tactile depth to the fabric without creating a heavy or stiff pile.
