Nithsdale Heather Pure Cashmere Throw ~ Plum & Ivory Scottish Cashmere Windowpane Check
Product Description
There's something rather special about the rich, muted purples of the Scottish countryside. From the soft heather covering the hillsides to the deep damson shades of autumn berries, these beautiful colours bring warmth, character and a quiet sense of luxury wherever they're found.
Our Nithsdale Heather Pure Cashmere Throw captures that feeling wonderfully.
Woven in Scotland from 100% pure cashmere, this exquisite blanket combines a softly heathered plum background with a beautifully balanced windowpane check in deep damson and contrasting ivory. The darker lines introduce richness and definition, while the delicate ivory check lifts the design, creating a lovely sense of light and contrast.
Look a little closer and you'll discover a fine herringbone weave running through the fabric, adding subtle texture and depth. It's one of those thoughtful details that might not be immediately obvious, but becomes increasingly beautiful the more you appreciate it.
Finished with a traditional twisted fringe in complementary plum and ivory tones, this is a throw that combines timeless Scottish textile craftsmanship with a wonderfully contemporary colour palette.
And then there's the cashmere itself.
Exceptionally fine, beautifully soft and wonderfully luxurious, pure cashmere is a natural fibre renowned for its remarkable warmth and gentle, almost silky handle. Its fine weave creates a beautifully fluid drape, allowing the blanket to settle effortlessly around your shoulders or across your knees.
Unlike a heavier traditional wool blanket, this is a fine, lightweight cashmere throw, offering comforting warmth without unnecessary bulk.
One of the loveliest characteristics of quality cashmere is how it can develop with use. As the fibres gently relax and the surface acquires a soft bloom, the handle can become even more inviting over time. With proper care, it's a blanket that can become increasingly familiar and treasured as the years pass.
At a generous 183cm x 143cm, the Nithsdale Heather is beautifully sized for everyday indulgence. Wrap it around yourself on a cool evening, settle beneath it with a favourite book or drape it across your shoulders while enjoying a quiet morning coffee.
And when it's not being used, it's far too beautiful to put away.
The combination of plum, damson and ivory creates a striking yet wonderfully versatile colour palette. Draped across a cream sofa, folded at the foot of a bed or resting on a favourite armchair, it introduces colour, texture and a little understated glamour.
Woven in Scotland, this beautiful blanket reflects the generations of specialist knowledge and craftsmanship that have made Scottish cashmere internationally admired. It's a tradition of quality that we are proud to celebrate at Solway Blankets.
Whether chosen as a luxurious addition to your own home or a meaningful gift for someone special, the Nithsdale Heather is something to enjoy for many years.
Rich in colour, exquisite in softness and beautifully woven, a little piece of Scottish luxury to make everyday moments feel special.
Victoria's Styling Tips
The Nithsdale Heather is particularly beautiful in interiors where you want to introduce warmth and colour without overpowering the room.
For a sophisticated living room: Drape it across a cream, oatmeal or pale grey sofa. The ivory check connects beautifully with neutral upholstery, while the plum and damson tones introduce a rich, elegant contrast.
For a romantic, layered bedroom: Fold it across crisp white bedding or combine it with soft taupe, warm grey and natural linen. The delicate herringbone texture adds a lovely finishing touch.
For a traditional country-house interior: Pair it with dark oak, antique brass, aged leather and warm lighting. The deep purple tones create a wonderfully inviting atmosphere, particularly during autumn and winter.

FAQs
Where are the blankets made?
We are proud to say that all of our blankets are 100% British, being woven in traditional textile mills in all four home nations.
Every piece is crafted using time-honoured techniques by skilled makers and thoughtfully designed to blend beauty, heritage, and everyday comfort.
Can I order a blanket as a gift to be sent to the recipient direct?
Absolutely, we can send your chosen blanket directly to the recipient — simply enter their name, address and your gift message at checkout.
To make it extra special, you can add our luxury gift wrap option: your blanket will arrive in a white gift box, wrapped in tissue and ribbon, with a handwritten card — perfect for birthdays, weddings, or just-because moments.
Are the blankets sustainably made?
Yes — sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. All of our blankets are crafted in the UK using 100% natural wool, a renewable, biodegradable fibre. Most of our collection is made from mono-material yarns, which simplifies recycling and supports a circular approach to home textiles.
We’re also proud to offer a Recycled Wool Collection, made by re-weaving surplus and leftover yarns that would otherwise go to landfill. These blankets are not only eco-conscious, but full of character — each one is unique.
We work exclusively with mills that prioritise ethical sourcing and animal welfare, ensuring our blankets are as kind to the planet as they are to people.
Are they made from natural materials?
They are indeed — all of our blankets are made from wool, a natural and renewable material. Unlike synthetic fibres, wool is fully biodegradable and won’t release plastic microfibres into the environment.
We choose mono-material yarns wherever possible, meaning our blankets contain just one fibre type. This makes them not only gentler on the planet, but also easier to recycle at the end of their life.
Do you delivery internationally?
Yes, we’re delighted to welcome international customers — it means so much to us that our blankets are loved around the world.
International shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and weight. Wherever possible, we use your country’s trusted national postal service to ensure safe and reliable delivery.
We always aim to keep shipping costs fair and transparent, if you have any questions before ordering, we’re just a message away. Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a treat for yourself, we’ll make sure your blanket arrives beautifully wrapped and ready to enjoy — no matter where you are.
