The Sun's Vertical Army: A Mudéjar Stripe Throw Blanket
Do not mistake this for a simple textile. This is a woven declaration of architectural conquest, a vertical army of pattern designed to bring the aggressive, glorious history of the Iberian sun directly into your home.
This Woven Throw Blanket is a riot of organized complexity, structured into bold, repetitive vertical panels. The pattern celebrates the vibrant Mudéjar style—the fusion of Christian and Moorish (Islamic) art in medieval Spain—and is dominated by a field of brilliant, aggressive yellow. This yellow is sliced by alternating stripes of densely packed geometric star forms and circular tile medallions, all rendered in intense sapphire blue, fiery red, and deep teal.
The entire aesthetic is a loud, confident assertion of design mastery. The repeated use of the circle and star motifs, often found in azulejo (painted tilework), speaks to the advanced mathematical and cosmological understanding of the artisans who crafted these historical patterns. This blanket is a perfect snapshot of a culture in dialogue, resulting in something visually overwhelming and structurally perfect.
Fact of the Absurd: Textiles and wall hangings with these loud, saturated colours and bold vertical stripes were traditionally used to demarcate important spaces and shield interiors from the relentless Spanish sun, meaning you are wrapping yourself in a highly evolved, decorative defense system.
Soft, richly textured due to its woven construction, and durable. It’s the essential throw for the maximalist who requires their comfort to be historically loud and geometrically precise.

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.
