Pilling will occur!

Since our woolen blankets are made from un-spun merino roving, shedding and pilling will occur naturally.

Generally, the heavier the use, the more damage the blanket will sustain. When creating the blankets, we use a technique that minimizes the potential for damage, but they are still very tender.

Remove pilling by hand. Just pinch the part that's pilled, and pull on it in the direction of the wool. If you're taking off several of these at a time, rub them together in your hands to compile — it's easier to handle them that way. Unless you end up taking off too much, your chunky blanket should look just like new!

Keep away from dogs and cats.

They can severely damage the blanket. We leave it to the discretion of each pet owner to determine if their pet will be ok with your new blanket, as some pets simply like to lay down and do not “nest.”

No matter how clean your home is, blankets will attract dust, lint, and pet hair due to static sticking. You might be inclined to pick these off using your fingers, but with large blankets, this can end up taking hours. Instead of wasting your time, give your blanket a nice vigorous shake, and most of the stuff stuck to it will come off. If your merino blanket gets a deformed stitch, a shake will take care of that, too.

Clean stains immediately!

To ensure that your blanket stays looking like new, make sure to keep it away from areas where it's likely to get a stain. Our merino blankets are also likely to sustain damage when they come in contact with synthetic and abrasive materials (like velvet), so make sure it's used with soft and natural materials.

If you get a stain on your merino blanket, don't put off cleaning it for later! The longer you wait before removing it, the more likely it is to stay for good. If you accidentally spilled something like coffee or wine on it, grab some Woolite, rub it gently, and run that area of the blanket under cold water to rinse. Once the stain has been washed out, put that spot between two towels and give it a gentle squeeze. Afterward, put the blanket on a surface where it's going to get a lot of air and make sure to flip it periodically until it dries.

We can advise a spray to keep your blanket looking new and cut down on pilling and shedding. It is called Wool & Cashmere Spray by The Laundress. It can be purchased at many fabric stores or Amazon. Please follow the instructions closely.

Always dry clean professionally!

NEVER WASH OUR ORIGINAL MERINO WOOL BLANKETS IN THE WASHING MACHINE OR DRY IN A DRYER! The combination of water, heat, and friction will cause the blanket to felt and lose its softness and cloud-like look.

To maintain the superior quality of your blanket, professional dry cleaning is highly recommended.
