de Le Cuona | Herringbone Cashmere Blanket – Wheat

The Herringbone Cashmere Blanket in Wheat is a blanket we would happily leave out on a sofa or a bed and expect people to reach for. The herringbone weave gives the surface a subtle, directional line, a little like a small ridge of texture, so a plain colour has something to look at. Wheat is a warm, pale gold-beige, soft in tone and easy to place. Cashmere gives it a light, close, very soft hand, and a blanket in this material drapes heavily and neatly rather than stiffly.

The blanket is 150 cm wide and is sold each, with the reference HCB1T. We do not have the length, the weight or the exact fibre content to hand beyond the cashmere named in the title, so please ask us for the full dimensions and care details if they affect your choice. A blanket like this is bought as a single piece, so check that the width suits the bed or seat you have in mind. The Wheat colourway sits well beside most natural fabrics and paint colours in a warm range.

We would fold it across the foot of a bed, over linen in white or oatmeal, where it adds warmth and a second texture without making the bed look heavy. It also works over the arm of a sofa or the back of a reading chair, where it is used as much as it is looked at. For pairings, we like it with natural linen, tobacco velvet and darker timber, and it sits well in a room with a pale wall colour.

There is nothing to assemble or fix, but cashmere deserves care. Follow the care label, and we would favour dry cleaning or very gentle hand washing, never a hot cycle. Fold it away in a breathable cotton bag, not plastic, and keep it clear of moths with cedar. Avoid placing it where it will be sat on every day, as that will pill the surface sooner. A light brush in the direction of the weave keeps the surface neat.
