The Different Types of Linvosges Throws
Cashmere Throws: The Ultimate Luxury
Cashmere is Linvosges' flagship material. Extremely soft, light, and warm, it is perfect for cool evenings. Cashmere throws are often solid or with subtle patterns, with meticulous finishes. Their price reflects their rarity and quality.
Merino Wool Throws: Warmth and Comfort
Merino wool is renowned for its fineness and temperature-regulating ability. These throws are ideal for daily use, offering natural insulation without being too heavy. They come in classic patterns like tartan or houndstooth.
Organic Cotton Throws: Lightness and Breathability
For milder seasons or sensitive skin, organic cotton is an excellent choice. These throws are easy to care for, lightweight, and available in a wide colour palette. They suit both sofas and beds in summer.
Linen Throws: Natural Elegance
Linen brings a unique texture and a slightly wrinkled look that is very trendy. Linvosges linen throws are perfect for a bohemian or Scandinavian décor. They are very durable and become softer with washing.
How to Choose Your Linvosges Throw: Essential Criteria
Intended Use: Sofa, Bed or Outdoors
For sofa use, choose a medium-sized throw (130x170 cm) in wool or cashmere. For the bed, a large format (180x240 cm) in cotton or linen is ideal. For outdoors (patio, picnic), opt for a thick cotton or stain-treated wool throw.
Material and Weight
The weight (grams per square metre) determines warmth: a high weight (300 g/m² and above) is warmer. Cashmere and merino wool offer a good warmth-to-weight ratio. Cotton and linen are lighter.
Colours and Patterns
Linvosges offers solid, striped, tartan, or geometric collections. For a minimalist interior, choose neutral tones (ecru, grey, beige). For a touch of originality, go for bright colours or Scottish patterns.
Care and Durability
Check the washing instructions. Cashmere requires hand or dry cleaning, while cotton and linen can be machine washed at 30°C. Durability depends on the quality of fibres and finishes.

Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a Linvosges Throw
Neglecting Dimensions
A throw that is too small for your sofa or bed will look unappealing and be less functional. Measure the space before buying.
Choosing an Unsuitable Material for the Use
Avoid cashmere for heavy daily use or for children – prefer cotton. Conversely, a linen throw will be too light for winter.
Ignoring Care Requirements
Some throws require dry cleaning, which can be inconvenient. If you want easy care, go for cotton or linen.
Relying Only on Price
A high price does not always guarantee quality. Check the composition, weave density, and customer reviews.
Care Tips for Your Linvosges Throw
Washing and Drying
Wash cold (30°C max) on a delicate cycle. Use a mild detergent without fabric softener. Air dry out of direct sunlight. Never tumble dry, especially for cashmere.
Stain Removal
Treat stains immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consult a professional.
Storage
Fold the throw rather than hanging it to avoid distortion. Store in a dry place, away from moths (use lavender sachets).
Incorporating a Linvosges Throw into Your Décor
On the Sofa: The Cosy Touch
Drape the throw casually over the armrest or back. Pair with coordinating cushions for a harmonious look.
At the Foot of the Bed: A Chic Note
Fold the throw into thirds lengthwise and place it at the foot of the bed. It adds texture and visual warmth.
As a Tablecloth or Chair Cover
Use a small linen or cotton throw as a tablecloth or to cover a chair. Original and practical.
