Designed to do double duty, our Twin/Throw Dohar is generously sized for a twin bed, yet relaxed enough to use as an everyday throw. Lightweight, soft and breathable with a beautiful drape, it’s perfect as a summer blanket, layered at the foot of a larger bed, or tossed over the sofa for afternoon naps and cozy evenings.
Made from three layers of airy mulmul cotton muslin—once reserved for Indian royalty—dohars are traditional Indian summer blankets that become softer with every wash. The word dohar comes from the Hindi doharana, meaning “to repeat,” a fitting nod to both its layered construction and the rhythmic artistry behind its creation.
Each dohar is printed entirely by hand using centuries-old block printing techniques. Artisans carve intricate patterns into wooden blocks, dip them into azo-free dyes, and press them onto the fabric in a slow, deliberate process repeated as many as 3,000 times for a single blanket. Made in small batches, no two are exactly alike. Subtle variations in color and pattern are a hallmark of the handmade process and part of each dohar’s unique character.
