The Cotton Pile Blanket from BasShu is a great all purpose piece, dyed and woven for durability it can be used indoor or outdoor as a throw, rug or even a beach towel in a soft cotton towelling. The cotton material is made in Imabari Japan where pure water from an underground spring is used to treat the fabric making it ultra soft and the woven pattern detail is showcased by a fine fringe on the ends of the blanket.
