Our most luxurious throw uses the finest cashmere woven in a chevron weave structure adding extra thickness and depth of color. Hand tied and masterfully crafted by weavers in our 51 Main Street weaving studio, our cashmere throws are the ultimate in comfort and fine living.

 

Dimensions:
4' W x 7' L

Composition:
100% Cashmere

Dry clean only

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.

Another gorgeous throw

I have “collected” a number of the cashmere throws. They are simply the best. I had to have the Nantucket Red to keep with me and remind me of Nantucket.

Love this hydrangea color!

I adore this throw because Hydrangeas are my favorite flower. I have several Looms throws and this one really pops in my bedroom. I too read about it in Elin’s book “ The Hotel Nantucket “! It is so beautifully made, and the price is very reasonable for a handloomed piece

Hydrangea Cashmere Throw…a winner!

I love this throw. So soft and cuddly and the color is identical to the big blue hydrangeas growing in my garden. The quality of materials and workmanship is top drawer. A special thanks to Nantucket Looms customer and author Elin Hilderbrand for writing about this very throw in her latest novel. It figures prominently as an luxury accessory at the Hotel Nantucket. By following Hilderbrand’s descriptions, I was able to locate the business and the throw, which is looking great in my all-white bedroom now. You will love this throw!

Lavender Cashmere

My favorite color is lavender & this cashmere throw graces my living room on a grey/lavender French 19th c slipper chair. Nothing surpasses the handmade woven throws created by The Looms. All my best treasures are from them.
