About This Design

The Cloister of Comfort: A Hiberno-Saxon Panel Throw Blanket

The Cloister of Comfort: A Hiberno-Saxon Panel Throw Blanket

This is not a blanket; it is a meticulously woven, portable fragment of medieval spirituality and organized complexity. It asks you to contemplate the dense structures of existence while remaining utterly, luxuriously warm. The design is a sophisticated, dual-themed masterpiece, celebrating the convergence of styles during the Early Middle Ages. The central field is a mesmerising, tightly packed geometric knotwork rendered in shades of ochre and deep olive-yellow, evocative of Hiberno-Saxon (Insular) metalwork and manuscript backgrounds (like the Book of Kells). This dense lattice provides the visual, rhythmic security of an infinite pattern. This security is dramatically interrupted by two flanking vertical panels. These panels erupt with stylized foliate interlace and abstract botanical forms in vivid greens, blues, and burnt orange, reminiscent of both Merovingian and later Romanesque manuscript illuminations. The contrast between the rigid, continuous geometry of the center and the fluid, organic structure of the borders creates a delightful, intellectually engaging tension. Fact of the Absurd: In the monasteries that produced such Insular art, the creation of dense, seemingly endless patterns was an act of meditative devotion, turning chaos into cosmos. By snuggling beneath this throw, you are performing a silent, comfortable, and absolutely vital act of existential manuscript illumination. Woven for superior texture and depth, this throw blanket is durable, reversible, and utterly commanding. It is the essential piece for the home that demands historical weight and unparalleled geometric focus.

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.
