The Al-Andalus Ruby Tapestry Throw Throw Blanket
By the thousand and one fountains of the Alhambra, are you content to live amidst the drabness of the uninspired, where carpets and coverings are as colorless as the dust of the road? If so, shame upon your nafs (soul)! For I present to you a treasure that holds the very spirit of Al-Andalus, a jewel-toned masterpiece that will make your humble abode shine with the glory of a Moorish palace! This throw is not woven of common thread, but of the very history that bound Spain and the East in a magnificent embrace, a fusion of artistry so splendid it was said to make the stars jealous.
The pattern you see—a riot of intricate geometry and rich, passionate color—is a direct descendant of the art of the Mudéjar style, a testament to the master craftsmen whose hands blended the precision of Islamic design with the fiery heart of Spain. It is a visual muwashshah, a poetic form of interlinked verses, where every curve and line tells a story of conquest, culture, and creation. The deep, velvety red is the color of passion, of dried earth, and of the noble blood spilled in chivalrous tales; the stark contrast of the black and cream provides the clarity of a desert night sky. As the chronicles of the time tell us, "The Arabs took possession of Spain, and Spain of their hearts." This blanket allows you to take possession of that same romantic, intellectual heritage. Draped over your divan, it transforms your space into a private alcázar, a fortified palace of comfort and beauty. It is warmth for the body and a feast for the eye, promising not just coziness, but a journey through the medieval corridors of Córdoba and Seville.
Wrap yourself in the breathtaking luxury and history of medieval Spain with "The Al-Andalus Ruby Tapestry Throw." This stunning throw blanket features a bold and intricate Spanish Mudéjar-style pattern, a glorious blend of Moorish geometric complexity and vibrant Iberian color. The design, dominated by a passionate ruby red, striking black, and crisp cream, is a powerful nod to the opulent textiles and tilework of historical palaces like the Alhambra. Crafted for supreme comfort, its soft texture and generous size make it the perfect statement piece for your living room, adding warmth, drama, and exotic elegance. Ideal for history lovers, designers, and anyone seeking to bring a touch of old-world sophistication to their home. Experience the legendary beauty of Al-Andalus in your own sanctuary.

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.
