Know before you buy
This blanket is crafted from a blend of 82% pure virgin wool and 18% cotton. This combination provides the natural warmth and durability of wool with the added softness and structure of cotton.
A napped finish means the fabric has been combed to raise the fibers, creating a soft, velvet-like texture. This process enhances the blanket's warmth and makes it significantly softer to the touch than an un-napped wool weave.
To preserve the integrity of the wool blend and the quality of the weave, this blanket requires professional dry cleaning. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these methods can cause the wool to felt or shrink.
As a woven wool-blend throw, it offers a substantial, cozy weight that provides excellent insulation. It is designed to be a durable, warm layer for your home rather than a lightweight summer throw.
The blanket features a felt binding along the edges. This traditional finish provides a clean, tailored look while preventing the edges from fraying over time.
