Karan Handwoven Linen Throw

The Karan Handwoven Linen Throw is a 130 x 190cm throw handwoven from 3mm pure linen threads in a plain weave, alternating natural and white. A front closure of wooden buttons with elongated loop straps runs across it. The thick thread gives it a substantial, textured handle.

Three millimetre linen threads are heavy for a woven throw, and that is what produces the texture. You can see the individual threads in the weave, which gives the surface a chunky, handmade quality that a fine weave never achieves.

Alternating a warm silvery natural with a creamy white creates a subtle stripe that shifts depending on the light, and the linen brings a natural shine that cotton does not. The wooden buttons and loop straps are the unusual detail, a working front closure on a throw, which lets it be fastened rather than only draped. Matching cushions are available in the same range in 50 x 50cm and 60 x 40cm if you want the look carried across a sofa.
