Irish wool throws for every home style. When it comes to transforming a house into a home, it’s often the soft touches that make all the difference — and nothing does it quite like a beautifully woven throw. At John Hanly, we believe that timeless craftsmanship should enhance every style, whether you love the whimsical romance of cottagecore or the clean lines of contemporary design.
In this guide, we’ll help you choose the perfect throw for your personal style, with curated picks from our collection that blend Irish heritage with modern living.
1. The Charm of Cottagecore: Nostalgic, Cosy, and Ready for Adventures
Cottagecore is all about celebrating the simple, wholesome joys of life — slow mornings with tea, fresh flowers on the table, and soft textiles that make you feel wrapped in warmth. Whether you’re curling up indoors or enjoying a picnic in the countryside, our Lambswool Throws and Irish Picnic Blankets bring that timeless charm to every cosy corner and outdoor escape.
Our Picks:
Lambswool Throws
A collection offering more traditional patterns whilst utilising dynamic colourways to create cosy, desirable throws that feel right at home in a countryside cottage or farmhouse nook. Made from 100% Lambswool, they’re lightweight, wonderfully warm, and drape beautifully across armchairs, beds or reading corners.
Irish Picnic Blankets
Brighten up your picnic with a John Hanly picnic blanket, woven right here in our factory in Tipperary. Rugged and hard-wearing, each blanket reflects the rich, varied colours of the Irish countryside. The perfect companion for days out, beach trips, and garden gatherings — creating cherished memories with friends and family. Generously sized at 137 x 182 cm, there’s plenty of room for everyone to gather. And when the sun sets, simply wrap it around your shoulders to keep warm on cool evenings under the stars. Made from 100% Pure Shetland Wool.
Why they work:
Whether draped indoors or laid out under a tree, both our Lambswool Throws and Irish Picnic Blankets embody the heart of Cottagecore — timeless comfort, natural beauty, and moments spent connecting with loved ones.

4. Eclectic & Playful: Add a Pop of Colour and Texture
For those who love mixing patterns, colours and unexpected touches, a throw should be a joyful statement piece that ties it all together. Our Mohair Throws are perfect for adding a burst of personality to any eclectic or creative space.
Our Pick: The Mohair Throw Collection — Made from the fleece of the Angora goat (70% Mohair, 30% Wool), these throws are famous for their fluffy texture, striking colours, and generous warmth. The lively colourways brighten up neutral sofas, add depth to layered bedding, or bring warmth and fun to a reading nook or studio.
Why it works:
Mohair throws don’t just add colour — they add volume and tactile interest. Their natural sheen and light, airy loft make them stand out, turning any ordinary corner into a cosy and cheerful retreat.
