Throws Woven in Scotland: Cashmere, Donegal Wool, Superfine Wool & Linen
There are evenings when the world quiets and all that is needed is a blanket. A small weight across the lap, the hush of fibres drawn close. At Cardoon Studio, our throws are not rushed. They are woven in Scotland, where craft has been handed down across generations, where the loom still holds rhythm like the beat of a heart.
Cashmere Throws — Warmth in Its Lightest Form
Cashmere is a whisper of the highlands. It holds warmth without heaviness, falling across the shoulders like a second skin. To rest beneath a cashmere throw is to carry softness that lingers, a luxury that feels almost weightless.
Donegal Wool Blankets — Flecks of Story and Landscape
Donegal wool carries the character of earth and stone. Each strand holds small flecks of colour, like moss, sky, or peat. A Donegal wool blanket is rugged, textured, alive with variation—perfect for evenings by the fire or mornings when the air carries a chill.
Superfine Wool Throws — Fineness You Can Feel
Superfine wool, smooth and refined, catches the low winter sun. It drapes with grace—equally suited to a reading chair or the end of a bed.
Linen Throws — Breathable, Timeless, Cool to the Touch
Linen is a fabric of simplicity. Strong yet light, it breathes easily, perfect for layering in summer or lending quiet texture to a room. A linen throw is not just seasonal—it is perennial, ageing with beauty as the years move on.
Why Scotland Matters
To weave in Scotland is to be part of a continuum. Mills here have known wool and warp for centuries. The air is damp enough to soften fibres, the tradition deep enough to shape quality beyond fashion. Each
Choosing a Throw
Each material has its own voice: cashmere for indulgence, Donegal wool for character, superfine wool for refinement, linen for breath and simplicity.
A Tradition Shared
Other names — Johnstons of Elgin, Begg & Co, or Joshua Ellis — stand within this tradition too, weaving with skill and care. Their presence reminds us that to make a throw in Scotland is to belong to a lineage of excellence. Cardoon Studio joins this chorus with its own quiet voice, offering blankets and throws woven in cashmere, Donegal wool, superfine wool, and linen, each one a study in softness, weight, and time.
A throw is more than cloth. It is comfort kept close, heritage held in hand. At Cardoon Studio, we weave slowly, so that when evening settles, you have something lasting to gather around your shoulders.
