Troubleshooting
Blanket feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using the correct low temperature (30°) for washing. Consider using a fabric softener specifically designed for natural fibers on the next wash, or air dry instead of tumble drying.
Color looks slightly different than expected
The blanket is made from 100% natural cotton, which can have slight variations in tone. This is normal and part of the material's charm. Allow it to settle into your home environment.
Pilling or snagging on the fabric
Natural cotton can be prone to minor pilling. To minimize this, wash the blanket inside out in a mesh laundry bag and avoid washing it with items that have zippers or rough surfaces. Address any small snags carefully by gently pulling the loose thread back through to the underside.
