Spirit of America Cotton Throw

I recently purchased Spirit of America Cotton Throw in linen and the George Washington’s Choice Throw in blue from Bates Mill Store (Maine Heritage Weavers), and I couldn’t be more impressed. The quality of the looming is absolutely outstanding—each blanket feels like a handcrafted heirloom, rich with history and care.

You can truly see and feel the heritage of the company woven into every piece. These throws are not only beautiful but also meaningful, made by artisans who clearly take pride in preserving a storied American tradition. I’m proud to support a business like this, and I look forward to enjoying these timeless blankets for years to come.

Highly recommend to anyone who values craftsmanship, history, and authenticity.

I love my throw. Absolutely beautiful. Excellent quality.

I love my throw and bedspread! Excellent quality and I love supporting a USA family business.

After a trip to the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in 2018, our family fell in love with Bates Mill chenille. I first purchased two Martha Washington throws for my girls. Since then, I've purchased a number of items: Kineo blankets to cover our sectional cushions, several of the seasonal beach blankets, a couple of limited edition throws, etc. I most recently purchased the Spirit of America throw for my son. He loves it! He is happy with the design and color. The size is just right too. Thank you Bates Mill for offering washable, durable, classic items that appeal to a wide audience!

This would make a great twin bed cover for me in my relatively warm[82"] bedroom. Do not need much blanket. love the terry fabric for light covers. Just right for me.
