Nantucket is nicknamed “The Gray Lady” because, on many days, she appears shrouded in fog when viewed from the sea. This signature Nantucket Looms cotton throw, featured in Vogue, pays homage to such days, handwoven with one of our favorite shades of gray. 

Dimensions:
4' W x 7' L

Composition:
100% USA Cotton

Dry clean suggested.
Your cotton throw can be washed at home, but some fiber characteristics may be altered. Hand wash cold with mild detergent, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low. Fringe may slightly tangle, gently comb it out with your fingers. Several washes may change the overall feeling of your throw making it look and feel a little more lived in and loved.

Crafted by hand from start to finish in our Main Street weaving studio.

Our masterful artisans begin by thoughtfully selecting colors and fibers inspired by our surrounding landscape, then determine a pattern and desired weave structure for their design.

Next they wind the fiber onto bobbins then wind the loom’s warp, a meticulously calculated process that sets the path of each and every thread used. These threads are manually connected to specific harnesses and securely hand-tied to “dress the loom.” Once this stage is complete, they can begin to weave.

Countless passes of the shuttle commence, rhythmic, muted sounds of wooden pedals fill the studio and a beautiful textile begins to emerge. The handwoven process continues until the piece reaches its full length, at which point it is cut from the loom. Tassels are hand-knotted onto the ends, and a small label is hand-sewn onto the textile as the weaver’s final touch.

I purchased an all cotton throw for a Xmas present several years ago. It was of such exceptional quality that I have purchased another one for a Xmas present this year. it has arrived and appears to be as lovely as the first one I purchased.
