MEADOW GREEN LINEN THROW
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I use this throw?
Upgrade your living and bedroom decor with our light weight Meadow Green throw made of pure flax linen, with kantha detailing on the borders. Whether draped over a sofa, folded neatly at the foot of a bed, or used as a make-shift picnic blanket, its versatile nature makes it a perfect addition to any home.
This throw can also be used as a baby blanket/swaddle. It is also an excellent travel companion and can be used as a makeshift blanket during long journeys and summer outings.
What is Kantha?
Kantha embroidery is a traditional craft from the Indian subcontinent, particularly Bengal. It involves intricate hand-stitching to create beautiful designs on fabric. Kantha embroidery is known for its simplicity, yet it can be quite detailed, with motifs ranging from flowers and animals to geometric patterns. It's not just decorative; it also serves a practical purpose, as it's used to make blankets, quilts, and clothing.
Can I use this throw as a blanket?
The Meadow Green throw is a light weight throw, and is suitable for day-time lounging. However, it is not a replacement for a blanket.
How should I wash this throw?
This is a hand embroidered piece, so we suggest gentle handling. It is machine washable in cold water on GENTLE setting. Use very mild cleaner (non-abrasive & bleach-free) to keep your linen from getting faded or discoloured. We recommend line drying in shade. If required, iron it on appropriate (low heat) settings.
The new throw may feel a little stiff when it arrives. Don’t worry! It will soften after the first wash, and will get softer and softer with each wash. Please click here to read the wash/care instruction carefully.
Your linen is precious.
What is stonewashed linen?
Stonewashing is a method of washing wherein the cloth is rolled over with abrasive stones (pumice) to give the fabric a loose, crinkly texture and a feather-like soft finish. Because of this our duvet covers are softer than ones made of regular (not-stonewashed) linen, and will prevent the fabric from shrinking over time with multiple washes. Not only that, stonewashing will give the fabric a lived-in, vintage touch and feel.
Our exquisite Meadow Green pure linen throw features a charming cream colour Kantha border, hand-embroidered with pure cotton threads. The refreshing green hue adds a touch of nature's tranquility to your lounging space, while the Kantha border lends an artisanal flair, and cultural richness. Whether draped over a couch, spread across a bed, or used as a picnic blanket, this versatile throw effortlessly enhances your living space with its elegance and craftsmanship.
