Helmsdale Wool Throw | Midnight

The most enduring pattern in textile history. In the most enduring colourway.

Midnight is black and white — and black and white is never simple. In the Helmsdale's houndstooth check, the two tones interlock in a pattern that has been woven for centuries and shows no sign of becoming anything other than exactly right. Against a pale interior it reads as graphic and deliberate. Against a dark room it disappears into the composition, adding depth and texture without demanding attention. It is the throw for people who have decided what they like and stopped looking.

Woven in the UK from 100% New Zealand wool, the Helmsdale is superbly soft — the kind of softness that comes from the quality of the fibre rather than any finishing treatment. New Zealand wool is among the finest in the world: long-staple, resilient, and naturally temperature-regulating. The UK weave gives it its structure and its precision. The result is a throw that is both beautiful and genuinely functional, at home on a sofa, across a bed, or outdoors on a cool evening.

At 130 x 200cm it is a versatile proportion — substantial enough to wrap in, refined enough to style with.
