Pom Pom at Home Newport Throw Blanket

Yes, while linen has a naturally crisp, textured hand-feel, this heavy-weight weave is designed to be comfortable for lounging. It will soften further with every wash, becoming more supple over time.

This is a heavy-weight linen, meaning it has more substance and drape than a lightweight cotton sheet. It provides a cozy, breathable layer that feels substantial without being overly heavy or stifling.

The tassels are integrated into the hand-loomed construction, making them quite sturdy. However, as with any decorative edge, it is best to wash the blanket in a mesh laundry bag to prevent them from tangling or snagging in the machine.

You can absolutely machine wash this throw. We recommend washing it on a cold, gentle cycle and tumble drying on low to maintain the integrity of the linen fibers and the tassel details.

Like all natural linen products, there may be very slight shrinkage after the first wash. Following the care instructions—specifically using cold water and low heat—will minimize this and keep the throw looking its best.

At 50 inches by 70 inches, this is designed as a decorative throw rather than a full bedspread. It is perfectly sized for draping over the end of a bed, a sofa, or an armchair.
