What is herringbone weave?
Also known as a broken twill weave, the herringbone weave refers to a manner of weaving the fabric in a geometric zig-zag pattern. The zig-zag appearance is result of half warp and half weft yarns.
The name herringbone (herring-bone) is derived from the similarity between the weaving pattern and the skeletal structure of the herring fish.
Can I use this throw as a blanket?
The Cacao Herringbone throw is suitable for day-time lounging. However, it is not a replacement for a blanket.
How should I wash this throw?

What is stonewashed linen?
The Process
- Industrial Tumbling: Newly woven flax linen fabric is loaded into large industrial washing drums with water, mild detergents, and tumbling agents.
- Pumice Stone Abrasion: In traditional manufacturing, porous volcanic pumice stones are tumbled alongside the fabric to physically abrade the surface fibers and release tight loom tension.
- Cellulase Enzyme Treatments: Some Modern sustainable mills frequently use eco-friendly cellulase enzymes to selectively dissolve the rigid surface pectin binding the flax fibers together without compromising core structural strength.
- Accelerated Softening: The process condenses years of natural washing and wear into a single controlled manufacturing cycle, transforming crisp raw flax into a supple cloth.
The Benefits
- Instant Softness: Skips the stiff, rigid "break-in" period of raw linen, delivering a buttery, gentle hand-feel from the very first use.
- Effortless, Relaxed Aesthetic: Features a subtle matte sheen and soft, organic rumples that look sophisticated without ever requiring an iron.
- Pre-Shrunk Stability: Undergoes intensive pre-shrinking during production, ensuring the fabric maintains its dimensions through subsequent home laundering.
- Fluid Drape: Loosening the weave tension allows the fabric to fall in softer, heavier folds that contour gracefully over furniture and the body.
- Superior Breathability: Retains all natural flax properties—wicking away moisture, preventing bacterial growth, and keeping sleepers cool in warm weather while trapping subtle warmth in winter.
- Continual Improvement: High-grade flax fibers maintain exceptional long-term durability, becoming softer and more pliable with every wash cycle.
Our Cacao Herringbone linen throw adds both warmth and texture to a space, blending seamlessly with a variety of decor styles. Its intricate pattern and earthy hue create a cozy atmosphere, perfect for draping over a sofa or bed, adding an elegant touch to any room.
