Thornton Throw, Olive
Why merino lambswool?
Lambswool is the name given to the fleece from a sheep’s first shearing, and it’s naturally much finer and softer than any other. Merino wool comes from a particular breed of sheep, prized for their very strong and silky fleeces. So naturally, the lambswool of merino sheep is some of the very best for creating a smooth, supple and light blanket. And, like all wool, it’s also biodegradable, insulating and hypoallergenic.
In the making
Thornton’s created by our family-run partner mill in Delph, a village which sits on the border of Lancashire and Yorkshire. They start with the fleeces straight from the farm, before washing, spinning, dyeing, weaving and finishing their wool textiles themselves.
The weave
Most of this throw is woven in two colours of yarn: white on the warp (from top to bottom) and deep green on the weft (left to right). It creates a tiny chequerboard design which, from a distance, gives this panel a mottled – or heathered – appearance. The end section, for contrast, is more solidly dark green on the front and paler on the back. It’s our softer, subtler take on colour blocking.
