When it comes to choosing a wool throw, two main types stand out - woven and knitted. Both have their place, but at Exquisite Wool Traders we believe woven throws are the superior choice for quality, longevity, and design.
Woven Throws
• Made on a loom by interlacing warp and weft threads.
• Hold their shape and resist stretching.
• Durable and long-lasting.
• Crisp patterns like checks, plaids and herringbones.
• Warm, breathable and naturally insulating.
Our woven throws are crafted in the UK by Abraham Moon & Sons and AW Hainsworth, two of Britain’s most respected heritage mills, using high-quality New Zealand wool. This ensures premium craftsmanship, traceability, and sustainability.
Knitted Throws
• Made by looping yarn with needles or machines.
• Soft, flexible and casual in style.
• Often more affordable, but can stretch and lose shape over time.
• Great for lightweight or decorative use, but less durable than woven.
Why We Choose Woven
Woven throws combine heritage craftsmanship, timeless design, and lasting value. With our mills’ strong sustainability commitments - from zero waste to certified wool sourcing - you get a throw that not only feels good but also does good.
For those who want style, warmth, and longevity, a woven throw is the investment piece that will last for years.
