FAQs
Is this blanket machine washable?
No, this blanket is 100% wool and should not be machine washed or tumble dried. Hand wash or dry clean only to maintain its integrity.
How do I prevent moths from damaging the blanket?
Store the blanket in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable garment bag. Incorporate natural moth repellents such as lavender sachets or cedar blocks in the storage area.
What is the best way to dry the blanket after washing?
Lay the blanket flat on a clean surface away from direct sunlight or heat. Ensure it dries evenly and avoid wringing or twisting the fibers.
Can this blanket be used year-round?
Yes, wool is a breathable fiber that can provide warmth in cooler months and comfort in milder weather. It's less suited for very hot climates as a primary blanket.
What does 'jacquard woven' mean?
Jacquard weaving refers to a specific type of textile weaving that creates intricate patterns directly into the fabric through a complex loom setup. It results in a more durable and textured fabric.
How often should I wash my wool blanket?
Wool naturally resists odors and dirt. Frequent washing is not recommended. Airing the blanket outdoors on a dry, breezy day can help refresh it. Wash only when necessary, following the specific care instructions.
What are the dimensions of this blanket?
The blanket measures 140 cm by 200 cm.
Troubleshooting
Slight pilling after initial use
This is normal for natural wool fibers. Gently remove pills with a wool comb or by hand. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Blanket feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and did not use excessive heat during drying. Re-wash with a wool conditioner if necessary, and air dry flat.
Visible creases from folding
Hang the blanket for a few hours; gravity will help smooth out minor creases. For stubborn creases, steam gently from a distance, ensuring the iron does not touch the wool.
Moth damage detected
Clean the blanket thoroughly according to care instructions. Store in a breathable garment bag with natural moth repellents like lavender or cedar. Inspect regularly.
