Manitoba stripes in linen and wool
Linen and wool share the work in Manitoba. The linen, 70 per cent of the cloth, lends coolness and a firm, matt surface. Washed wool, at 30 per cent, adds depth and an even warmth. With 610 grams per square metre the throw has real weight, so it stays where you lay it. Mustard lifts the red and the green, whereas the beeswax ground keeps all three from shouting. Cushions follow both versions. One is striped in red, green and mustard; the red one has a contrasting back, and therefore two looks in a single cover. Manitoba joins the other striped designs of the Libeco throws collection.

Care
Before Manitoba meets water, take a moment with its care label: whatever it states takes precedence over any general rule for linen. Since the blend contains wool, we would lean towards a cool, gentle wash and a light touch throughout. Pick a detergent without optical brighteners, as these rob natural colours of their warmth. Afterwards, ease the cloth into shape by hand and lay it flat to dry, well away from the tumble dryer. Thus the stripes stay clear, and the warm ground keeps its mellow tone through every season of use.
