Coastal Colors Mudcloth Throw Blanket

This large blanket is created using an updated mudcloth technique in Mali. Every swirl and pattern is hand-waxed, and each blanket is one-of-a-kind. The same artisans who weave the cotton also take part in dyeing it, and each piece is made with incredible care.

Blue, green, brown and black tones mingle in an array of geometric shapes based on traditional and contemporary African symbols.

Measures approximately 46"W x 72"L. Patterns and colors will vary due to the handmade nature of this item. Hemmed borders at top and bottom; as typical with authentic mudcloth, the backside is unfinished. For best care, hand wash in cool water and air dry.
