de Le Cuona | Tribal Linen Throw with Wool Binding – Silt

The Tribal Linen Throw is a plain-minded piece of work, and we mean that as praise. It is a woven linen throw finished with a wool binding, and the pairing of the two materials gives it a quiet contrast: the linen is dry, cool and slightly irregular to the touch, while the wool edge adds a softer, firmer line around the border. Silt is a muted, earthy neutral, the colour of dried river mud, and it settles into almost any scheme without asserting itself. It is meant to be used rather than admired from a distance.

The throw is by de Le Cuona, code TLT1T, and is sold each. It measures 135 cm in width. The body is linen and the binding is wool, which is the full extent of what we have been given about its make. We have not been supplied a length, a weight or a place of manufacture, so we would rather you ask us than rely on an assumption from us. If the length matters for the bed or sofa you have in mind, send us the measurements and we will confirm the figure before you order.

We tend to reach for a throw like this when a room needs one softer note. Folded over the arm of a linen sofa, it gives the eye somewhere to rest. Laid across the foot of a bed, it adds a second layer of texture over cotton or wool bedding without introducing another colour. We would also drape it over a reading chair in a study or bedroom, where it can be picked up easily. For pairings, we like it against deeper browns, charcoal and bone, and beside a heavier wool cushion.

As to care, linen softens and relaxes with use, and a few creases are part of its character rather than a flaw. Please check the care label on the throw itself before cleaning, as the wool binding may need different treatment from the linen. Keep it out of prolonged direct sun to protect the colour, and store it folded loosely rather than pressed tightly. If you are buying several for a bedroom scheme, we can check that they match.
