FAQs
What makes this blanket 'heritage-inspired'?
The term 'heritage-inspired' refers to the design, which draws from traditional patterns and aesthetics, like the Highland Cow motif, often associated with classic or historical styles.
Is this blanket hypoallergenic?
While made from natural wool, some individuals may have sensitivities to wool fibers. If you have known wool allergies, it's advisable to test the blanket's feel or consult with a healthcare professional.
How should I store the blanket when not in use?
Store the blanket in a cool, dry place. Using a breathable garment bag or cotton sheet is recommended to protect it from dust, moisture, and potential moth damage. Avoid sealing it in plastic.
Can I machine wash this blanket?
It is strongly advised against machine washing. Machine agitation can cause wool fibers to felt and shrink significantly. Hand washing or professional dry cleaning are the recommended methods.
What is the purpose of the brushed finish?
The brushed finish is a process that raises the fibers on the surface of the fabric, creating a softer, fluffier texture that enhances the blanket's comfort and warmth.
What is Jacquard woven?
Jacquard weaving is a technique that creates complex, patterned fabrics where the design is woven directly into the material, rather than being printed or embroidered on. This results in a detailed and durable pattern.
What is the weight of the blanket?
The blanket weighs approximately 1.0 kg.
Troubleshooting
Wool has a slight odor upon arrival.
This is normal for natural wool products. Air the blanket outdoors in a shaded, well-ventilated area for a day or two. The odor should dissipate.
Blanket appears to be shedding fibers.
Initial shedding is common with new wool products due to natural fiber shedding. Regular gentle brushing (following the wool grain) and careful washing will minimize this over time.
Water marks or stains on the blanket.
For minor fresh spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more significant stains, professional dry cleaning is recommended. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and wool detergent may be attempted with caution, ensuring the area is fully dried afterward.
Blanket feels rough or stiff after cleaning.
This can happen if the wool fibers have been agitated too much. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a gentle washing method (hand wash, cool water). Re-fluffing gently after drying may help restore softness.
