Wool and Cashmere Throws

 

At Cardoon Studio, our wool and cashmere throws and blankets are invitations to pause, connect, and find comfort in daily rituals. Each piece brings together the richness of Scottish textile tradition and the innovation of modern design. 

From the Scottish Hebrides to Your Home

Scotland’s dramatic landscape and ever-changing climate have shaped a textile tradition renowned for quality and innovation. On the Isle of Bute, generations of weavers have transformed local wool into blankets celebrated for their softness and durability. The island’s mills, once powered by water and community spirit, continue to evolve, embracing new techniques and sustainable practices while honouring the integrity of natural fibres. Today, Cardoon Studio blankets are woven with the same care, using superfine Scottish wool and luxurious cashmere sourced with respect for both animals and land.

Scottish Textiles: Identity and Innovation

Scottish textiles are deeply woven into the identity of the Isles. Local production, ethical sourcing, and a collaborative approach give Scottish wool and cashmere their renowned quality and character. Unlike textiles from other regions, Scottish throws and blankets have a unique ability to inspire our senses and feelings.

What makes Scottish Wool and Cashmere Throws and Blanket Special?  

Scottish wool and cashmere throws are celebrated for their exceptional softness, warmth, and ethical craftsmanship. Woven in small Scottish mills using natural fibres, they combine heritage with modern design for timeless comfort.

Wellbeing Rituals: The Blanket as Companion

A wool or cashmere blanket is more than a layer of warmth, it is a gentle companion in daily rituals of comfort and care. Whether you’re pausing with a book, seeking comfort during stressful times, or winding down before sleep, a blanket can transform these moments into rituals of calm and connection. Draping a blanket over your shoulders or across your bed becomes a grounding gesture, nurturing both yourself and those you love. Across the world, these textiles are cherished not just for their beauty, but for their power to soothe, connect, and restore.

Modern Craft and Natural Fibres

Our collection blends the best of Scottish weaving heritage with the possibilities of contemporary design. Each blanket is crafted in small batches, using ethically sourced wool and cashmere that nourish the senses. The gentle weight, subtle texture, and soft touch invite you to slow down and experience comfort, whether draped over a sofa or wrapped around your shoulders on a quiet evening.

Why Wool and Cashmere Matter

Wool and cashmere are natural fibres celebrated for their warmth, breathability, and resilience. Scottish wool, including superfine and Donegal varieties, is known for its quality and insulating properties, while cashmere offers unmatched softness and lightness. Choosing these materials supports a community committed to wellbeing and care, and ensures your throw is designed to be cherished for years, not just seasons.

Caring for Your Blanket

To keep your wool and cashmere throws and blankets at their best, we recommend professional dry cleaning only. Let your blanket air out regularly to maintain its freshness and softness. For spot cleaning, always use cold water and a soft cloth, gently working in circles—never rub the fibres. This careful approach preserves the natural beauty and longevity of your blanket.

Personalisation and Gifting

Every blanket can be personalised with initials or a special message, creating a meaningful gift for loved ones or a keepsake for yourself. To personalise your blanket, contact our team at hello@cardoonstudio.com.

The Bothan Throw: A Modern Classic Rooted in Place 

Inspired by the quiet strength of remote Scottish shelters—bothans— our Bothan Throw is a celebration of simple comfort and elemental design. Woven from a rich blend of superfine wool and cashmere, this throw pairs the softness of natural fibres with a bold, architectural pattern that nods to traditional woven structures. Its generous size and gentle weight make it ideal for moments of rest, reflection, or reconnection. Like the bothans that dot the Highlands, this throw offers a place of quiet retreat—whether laid across a sofa or wrapped around your shoulders on a cold evening.

The Haar Throw: Breathable Elegance, Inspired by the Sea 

Named for the soft coastal mist that drifts over northern shorelines, the Haar Throw captures that same ethereal essence in woven form. Crafted from exquisitely soft merino wool, it blends breathable warmth with a light, flowing drape—perfect for tranquil moments at dusk. Its fine, tonal texture evokes the subtle hues of sea foam and mist, while an understated edge detailing adds a contemporary finish. Whether gently draped over your lap during a quiet morning coffee or layered across a bed, the Haar Throw brings a sense of airy comfort and coastal calm to your home.

 

The Cairn Throw: Textured Warmth Rooted in Place 

The Cairn Throw is a beautifully grounded piece, drawing its name and inspiration from the ancient stone cairns that punctuate the Scottish landscape—silent markers of passage, heritage, and connection. Crafted from pure superfine wool, it features a tactile waffle-weave structure that quietly echoes the rugged terrain’s subtle variations. Hand-finished by skilled artisans on the Isle of Bute and edged with soft pearl-grey fringes, each throw carries the quiet imprint of generations of craftsmanship. Its generous size and breathable warmth make it equally suited to chilly evenings wrapped in solitude or shared moments beside loved ones, inviting pause and reflection in everyday life. The Cairn Throw is not just a blanket—it’s a reminder of place, presence, and the enduring comfort found in simplicity.

The Loomlight Throw: Airy Softness, All-Year Comfort 

Light as a whisper, the Loomlight Throw blends fine linen and cashmere in a gently textured weave, finished with softly combed fringes in warm beige tones. It offers breathable warmth and a subtle, grounding texture—perfect for draping over your shoulders during reflective mornings or layering on chilly evenings. Handcrafted in Scotland with care and devotion, this throw brings an effortless elegance and timeless softness to everyday moments.
