These distinctive woolen throws
and blankets will bring western flair to any room in your house,
apartment, cabin or lodge. Woolen Throws are made from luxuriant wool
that many a fashion-conscious woman has dreamed of wearing against her
skin. Its silken feel, feather-light weight, and appreciable status make
it highly desirable. Despite the glamour associated with Woolen Throws, it hails from humble beginnings. Woolgold's Woolen Throws use wool or fur of the Kashmir goat. Kashmir goats are primarily raised in Mongolia, but many are bred in Iran, Tibet, India and China. American herders have also joined the international cashmere production market in recent years. |

| The woolen throws from Woolgold provide long-lived warmth anytime it's needed. Each pattern is based on an authentic Western American motif. The fine wool is harvested from the goats during their annual molting season through the shedding or the shearing of their down. In the frigid high desert climates where most of the goats are raised, the dense inner coat guards against harsh winter weather, but once seasons change, goats begin to lose the protective layer of down. The finest wool comes from the underbelly and throat of the goats, but a lesser grade is also taken from the goats legs and backs. Longer fibers from the belly and throat area make the wool especially soft and cause less pilling when the fibers are woven into garments such as sweaters, shawls, capes, dresses, and coats for both men and women. The shorter fibers from the backs and legs are heavier and less expensive, making it easier to afford a luxury garment. Pure wool comes naturally in white, gray and brown, but the wool is easily dyed. |
