USA Decorative Throws made in the USA are becoming more and more difficult to find in view of the fact most throws are now woven in manufacturing facilities located in China, Portugal, and other far away lands.
There is one exception, however, and that is decorative throws woven by a Maine, USA, based company, Maine Heritage Weavers. This company was started by several Maine craftsmen and women, former employees of the former Bates Fabrics, the world renown manufacturer of bates style bedspreads, coverlets, shams, pillows and throws.


Maine Heritage Weavers operates out of the same buildings that housed the Bates operation located along the Androscoggin River in Lewiston, Maine. These cotton decorative throws are woven in a standard 54" by 72" size and are offered in a variety of colors and designs. These high quality throws can be used as decorations for couches, beds, chairs and in some cases for wall hangings. Most of all, however, these throws are used to snuggle in when reading a good book, watching televison, or for just being comfortable.

Luxury throws made in the USA are uncommon. Terry loop Martha's Choice throws are very rare.
Maine Heritage Weavers in Lewiston, Maine is one of the very last textile mills in America weaving candlewicks on Jacquard Looms.
Martha's Choice is one of the oldest designs available. Many brides during the 1950's and 1960's received Martha's Choice (formerly known as George Washington's Choice) bedspreads as wedding gifts. A coordinating throw is a wonderful anniversary gift.
Throws are 100% high grade, preshrunk cotton and are available in white or antique.
