Cotton Waffle Blanket

A knitted cotton throw (China, 300–500 unit run) lands around $10–18; a wool-cashmere blend throw runs $28–45, driven by the cashmere content percentage.

Pure cashmere is softest but too delicate and expensive for a daily-use hospitality or gifting throw; a wool-cashmere blend (commonly around 70/30) holds up to more handling and costs meaningfully less while keeping most of the soft hand-feel.

Knitted throws are made on flatbed knitting machines and drape loosely with some stretch; woven throws hold a crisper, more structured shape, which matters if the throw is meant to be displayed folded on furniture rather than draped.

Typically 300–500 units per colorway, since both knitting and weaving require a yarn or dye-lot minimum to run economically.

Hand-knotted fringe adds a manual finishing step and labor cost over a machine-hemmed edge; specify which you want, since "fringed throw" alone doesn't indicate whether the fringe is hand-finished or machine-simulated.

Yes — cashmere pills and mats with the frequent handling and cleaning that hospitality textiles see, and it typically requires professional cleaning rather than standard commercial laundering, which is worth flagging to buyers before they commit to pure cashmere at scale.

Throws generally fall under HS 6301 (blankets and travelling rugs), with subheadings splitting by fiber content — wool, cotton, or synthetic. Confirm per SKU, since fiber blend affects the applicable duty rate.
