The Merci oversized throw has a grain like pattern finished with an application of raw linen at the outside edges. It is part of our Tumbleweed Merci Collection... The look is modern and a little industrial but always classic. They are finished with a stone washed process, which gives them stain resistant properties and makes them completely safe to wash at home. We recommend washing weekly in cool water and in your dryer at low heat.
*The process also, naturally, results in a lot of extra fiber that needs to be shedded from the piece as it is washed and is to be expected. It’s just the last step in removing the excess fibers that were designed to be shed in the stone washing process...
*The application of raw edge linen can lose some long threads as it is washed, but they simply can be clipped....all of this adds to the warmth and charm of the fabric and is not a design flaw.....
*Merci White is made from 100% cotton.
*Merci Linen is made with 75% cotton and 25% Pure Linen.
