Ivory Handwoven Cotton Throw
Woven in a soft ivory tone, this cotton throw reflects the quiet, natural palette found across the island’s landscape. Traditional weaving techniques highlight the distinctive character of the textile, introducing subtle texture and dimensional interest to the surface. Crafted from high-quality cotton, the fiber offers natural breathability, durability, and a clean, comfortable hand feel. Inspired by the muted hues of sun-bleached driftwood, rolling dunes, and the ever-changing Nantucket sky, the throw is designed as an elegant yet practical layering piece for everyday living.
Handwoven in our Main Street studio, this throw is thoughtfully made using time-honored techniques and premium natural fibers. Each piece reflects expert craftsmanship, with careful attention to detail—from the integrity of the weave to the hand-finished fringe and is completed by our skilled island weavers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Caring for your Cotton Throw
Dry Cleaning Recommended: Gentle on the fabric, preserves plush texture and vibrant colors.
Home Care Tips: If you do launder the throw at home, use cold water and a mild detergent to protect the fibers. Use the Gentle Cycle to minimize stress on the fabric and tumble dry on low heat, to help retain the blanket's original softness and shape.
Note on Wear: Each wash may slightly alter the feel of your cotton throw. Blankets gain a lived-in, loved appearance, adding character.
Storage: When not in use, store your cotton blanket in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap moisture, and opt for a breathable cotton storage bag to protect against dust and moths.
Airing Out: Occasionally air out your cotton blanket to refresh it. A few hours in a shaded, well-ventilated area can do wonders, but avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the color and damage the fibers.
The Benefits of Cotton
Our cotton blankets are loved for their natural breathability, versatility, and easy care. Compared to wool or alpaca, cotton feels lighter and cooler against the skin, making it ideal for warm climates or layering through the seasons. While it doesn’t offer the same insulating warmth as cashmere or alpaca, cotton provides a crisp, fresh comfort that’s perfect for everyday use. Naturally hypoallergenic and available in a range of weaves and textures, cotton blankets combine practicality with a clean, classic appeal that never goes out of style.
We love cotton for its effortless comfort and timeless simplicity. It has a familiar, grounding quality—cool to the touch, soft against the skin, and naturally breathable. Cotton brings an ease to daily living, inviting use without worry and becoming softer over time. Its versatility suits every season and every home, pairing beautifully with other natural fibers. More than anything, we love cotton for the sense of ease it brings—simple, enduring, and endlessly welcoming.
