Throws & Blankets

Mongolian cashmere goats produce some of the finest, longest cashmere fibers in the world — harsh winters force their undercoats to grow longer and softer than goats in milder climates. Longer fibers mean less pilling, more durability, and a softer hand. Quince sources directly from Mongolian herders, which is why pricing sits well below specialty brand retail for comparable fiber quality and construction.

Throws sized for a single person on a sofa typically run 50-60 inches wide; larger throws (60-80 inches) drape across two people or the foot of a bed. Travel throws are sized to fold into a carry-on (typically 50 x 60 inches) and work as airplane and hotel blankets. Each product page lists exact dimensions before ordering.

Cable knit and ribbed throws have visible textured stitch patterns — most classic, warmest, with a slightly heavier hand. Plaid throws use the cashmere fiber in woven plaid patterns rather than knit — clean and graphic, drapes flatter. Dream throws have a softer, lofted hand with widely-spaced stitching — most cloud-like. Pointelle throws have a delicate openwork pattern — lightest weight, most airy.

Yes — a cashmere throw is one of the most reliable luxe gifts because it works for many years, suits any home, and reads as a real gift in person. Most-given for weddings, housewarmings, and milestone birthdays. Cable knit and dream throws are the most gift-forward styles. Ships in branded packaging suitable for gifting.

All cashmere pills a little in the first few weeks of wear as short surface fibers work loose — this is normal and stops once the surface settles. Use a cashmere comb or simple disposable razor to remove pills as they appear. After the break-in period, well-made cashmere stays smooth for years. Quince uses Grade-A Mongolian fibers (longer staple length), which pill less than lower grades.

Hand wash in cold water with a cashmere-safe or wool-safe detergent, or use a delicates cycle in a mesh bag. Skip fabric softener and bleach. Lay flat to dry, away from direct heat — never tumble dry cashmere. Reshape while damp to preserve the original dimensions. Professional dry cleaning is a safe alternative for special-care pieces.
