How to Choose the Perfect Throw for Every Season

October 19, 2025

A Throw for Every Mood and Moment

A throw is more than warmth — it’s a ritual object that transforms how a space feels. Beyond function, it carries emotion: calm in the mornings, comfort in the evenings, stillness on quiet weekends. Choosing the right throw means finding balance between texture, weight, and tone — the elements that connect your home to the rhythm of the seasons.

Cardoon Studio’s collection of Scottish wool and cashmere throws and Peruvian alpaca blankets embodies this rhythm. Each piece is crafted to offer comfort that changes with the weather — light and breathable in spring and summer, soft and enveloping in autumn and winter.

Spring & Summer: Light and Breathable

As the air softens, lighter fabrics invite ease and movement. Linen, superfine wool, and baby alpaca are ideal for these months — breathable, naturally temperature-regulating, and soft against the skin.

The Eir Stonewash Grey Throw brings a relaxed, coastal sensibility with its stonewashed finish and open weave, while the Haar Throw offers lightweight layering inspired by the soft sea mist of Scotland’s coastlines.

For those who prefer a touch of organic luxury, our Peruvian Alpaca Wool Blankets offer unmatched softness and breathability. Woven in small Andean workshops from ethically sourced alpaca fibres, they drape effortlessly and regulate temperature naturally, making them perfect for summer evenings or transitional interiors.

Autumn & Winter: Soft Weight, Deep Warmth

When the days shorten and the light fades earlier, texture becomes sanctuary. This is the season for cashmere blends and dense wools — textiles that hold warmth like an embrace.

The Bothan Off-White Throw offers quiet sophistication: a Scottish-woven blend of superfine wool and cashmere, designed to warm without heaviness. The Bothan Taupe Throw adds earthy depth, grounding cooler spaces with natural warmth.

For a larger, cocooning option, the Albainn Stone Light Grey Throw combines generous proportions with a dense weave for ultimate comfort. And if you prefer a different kind of softness, the Alpaca Throws from Peru provide lightweight warmth — insulating yet breathable, with a buttery texture that makes cold evenings feel softer.

Colour as Emotion

Each tone tells a story.
Off-white opens a room with clarity and light — the feeling of renewal. Taupe and umber add grounded warmth, creating intimacy and stability. Stone greys and neutral hues introduce calm and timeless balance. Alpaca pieces often carry naturally undyed tones, adding organic depth to interior palettes.

Colour is not an afterthought — it’s the emotional temperature of your home.

Layering Through the Year

Layering throws across the seasons transforms a space effortlessly. Keep a light alpaca or wool throw folded on a chair for summer. As winter approaches, layer it with a denser cashmere blend for tactile contrast and visual richness. Each combination reflects the season’s shift — an aesthetic and emotional rhythm that encourages slower, more conscious living.
