How to wash your throw

You can wash your throw in the washing machine. Avoid high temperatures from either hot water or tumble drying. Cotton is sensitive to high heat, and may cause the throw to shrink. Machine wash with cold or lukewarm water and mild detergent. Tumble dry on low.

The Piece

Our unique Desert Cactus tapestry throw depicts the iconic saguaro with the Superstition Mountains in the background. It is a jacquard woven throw, meaning the image is woven into the fabric, and features a beautiful muted desert-inspired color palette.

About Saguaros

The saguaro is a tree-like cactus of impressive size. It is native to the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, and its blossom is also the state's wildflower.

Saguaros grow in a fairly small slice of land in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, Mexico, and limited parts of southern California. Some of the best saguaro habitat is found in the New River, Mazatzal, and Superstition Mountains in the Tonto National Forest, and north of Tucson in the Santa Catalina Mountains.

The U.S. Forest Service states “A typical saguaro is both old and huge. Plants are at least 50 years old before they flower for the first time and usually about 75 years old when the first side branches develop. Plants can live for 200 years. A giant saguaro can reach almost 50 feet in height and 10 feet in circumference. They are by far the tallest plants in their desert scrub environment. A large plant full of water can weigh up to 6 tons.”

The saguaro is an incredibly important plant species, providing food and shelter for many desert animals like bats, birds, small mammals and insects.
