Imbongolo Throw – Marino Wool

Description

Handwoven Heritage, Timeless Comfort

The Imbongolo Throw is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, meticulously handwoven on an Imbongolo (donkey) portable loom—a traditional method passed down through generations. This weaving technique allows artisans to create one-of-a-kind pieces with a distinct texture and an organic, artisanal feel.

Crafted from 100% Hand-Spun Merino Wool

Made from 100% Merino wool, this blanket embodies the softness, warmth, and durability that Merino wool is known for. Every fibre is hand-carded and hand-spun, ensuring a truly natural and authentic finish. The result is a lightweight yet incredibly warm blanket, perfect for adding a touch of elegance and comfort to your home.

Pure & Natural in Every Way

The Imbongolo Throw comes in an off-white, natural wool colour, free from harsh dyes or chemicals. Its soft, neutral tone makes it a versatile addition to any space, blending seamlessly with both contemporary and traditional interiors. Whether styled over a bed, draped across a couch, or wrapped around your shoulders, this blanket exudes warmth and sophistication.
