ABOUT WOOL

 
 

Some Facts About Wool:

  • Wool fiber actually has tiny pores. When it's dyed, the pores open and the dye is absorbed into the fiber. That's why wool garments look and stay so rich in color.
  • Wool can be stretched up to 70% of its natural length and still retain its shape when released. In other words, it won't sag and wrinkles relax easily.
  • Wool's natural climate control system keeps you comfortable because it insulates you from heat and cold by trapping little pockets of air. Wool will keep you warm even when wet.
  • Wool is so strong, it's used to cover tennis balls and billiard tables. It's so fine, that it's the choice of tailors and designers around the world.

 

How To Care For Fine Woolen Blankets:

  • Brush with a soft firm bristled brush between washings.
  • Hang your blankets where they can breathe.

  • Treat stains promptly if you can. Wash in the machine with Woolite of other liquid detergents in cold water-Line dry.
