The Builder's Blueprint: Old Kingdom Geometric Throw Blanket
The desert wind bites the moment the sun barque sinks below the western cliffs. Fools from the north believe the Black Land is only heat and dust. They have never stood shivering in the deep shadow of a Saqqara mastaba at midnight.
Look closely at this weave. These are not the decadent, sprawling lotus vines the later dynasties painted on their pleasure-palaces. This is the Old Kingdom. The foundation. Absolute order. The sharp, unyielding geometry of the recessed panelling found on the earliest royal tombs, translated into heavy thread.
Most modern fabrics are a disgrace. They are spun thin as spiderwebs, tearing at the first snag of a bronze pin. They offer nothing against the chill. This cloth holds weight. It was made for the damp season when the inundation floods the fields and the cold creeps right through the mudbrick walls of the estate.
Wrap it around your shoulders. You are pulling the very concept of Ma'at—balance, structure, truth—over your own skin. The lines are true. The angles do not deviate. It is a fortress against the howling chaos of Isfet outside your door. Throw it across your bed or chair. Let the grid remind you that while stone pyramids endure the centuries, a heavy woven cloth is what actually keeps the blood warm.
Take it before the cold sets in. The nights are much longer than the priests claim.

A beautiful small blanket that is perfect for covering your legs while curled up in front of the fire, or for a decorative touch on the sofa. We also think it looks brilliant as a Christmas table centerpiece. We are delighted with it. The colors are absolutely perfect. Vibrant yet traditional. The pattern retains its lovely details despite the texture of the fabric. Very classy product that will not disappoint as a gift.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received the cotton throw blanket. It was made with such high quality. I am just about to order another throw. The colors are so vibrate and the weaving is so neat. Affordable as well. I really love my throw.

A quality printed throw has its advantages. This is a much finer weave throw than its loopier cousins, and though lighter, it is worth the investment for custom room accessorizing. The back is much prettier than the typical brown, and the fringe on the long sides very vivid, the selvage nicely done. Before photographing, I washed the throw in cold water, delicate, with a thicker woven throw the same size. On tumble dry low, this throw was dry in half the time as the other. This is a very practical quality if you use throws for furniture covers or to wrap up in frequently. The sleekness of the fabric makes it a great layer for accenting or protecting without the feeling of sitting on too much stuff. Perfect for napping or when you feel a light chill coming on. The color printing is beautiful and on this fabric, matched the design and color of my Photoshop image. This is an advantage for blending room fabrics and colors. The fringe on the short sides prints the colors from the design image and therefore varies from the side fringe. I streaked a white fractal line through the plaid pattern to give the illusion of weaving. This printed as crisp as an illusory thread, and put some white in the short side fringe, showing another advantage of print vs loomed- for artistic purposes, line lines, detail, and color integrity can be planned and preserved. My loomed throws have color limitations and more of a needlepoint texture. Print throws reproduce an exact image. The throw felt a little stiff straight out of the package, but this went away in the first delicate wash. Of course I searched the wash water for ink or bleeding and there was none.
