Wool That Works in Daily Life

Wool has been trusted for centuries for its balance of comfort and resilience. The Sontse blanket naturally regulates body temperature, keeping little ones snug in cooler weather and comfortably airy during warmer days. Its lighter weave makes it versatile for use as a throw blanket, play rug, or wall hanging above a crib. With time, it softens without losing strength, and resists wear from daily use.

Choosing With Care

Every Hustle & Blush blanket is made slowly and intentionally, from humane and cruelty free shearing to careful handweaving. The sheep are never mulesed, and the wool is prepared without bleach, synthetics, or harsh chemicals, keeping the sustainability features in mind. With use, Sontse becomes more than a blanket, it becomes part of your family’s story, gathering warmth and memory with every season.

FAQ

What makes the Sontse blanket different from other wool blankets?

Each Hustle & Blush blanket is created slowly, by hand, and with intention. This care ensures not only a functional piece but one that gathers meaning over time. With use, it becomes more than a blanket, it becomes part of your home’s story and a keepsake for years to come.

How should I clean and store the blanket?

Wool is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, so it doesn’t need frequent washing. Spot clean when possible and give your blanket a gentle shake to freshen the fibers. For deeper cleaning, it is machine washable on a delicate cycle in cold water with a natural detergent or a mix of vinegar and baking soda. Air dry outdoors or use the delicate setting in a dryer. Store in a breathable linen bag when not in use.

Are the colors dyed or natural?

The cream sections remain undyed, while the Canary, Saffron, Fawn, Stone, Ash, and Pistachio accents are created with plant-based, azo-free dyes. These natural dyes produce slight variations in shade, a hallmark of handcrafted work.

Will my blanket look exactly like the one pictured?

No two blankets are identical. Variations in weave, dye tone, and small natural flecks are part of its authenticity, giving each piece its own unique character.

Why are there sometimes strands of grass in the weave?

Because the wool is minimally processed, you may notice small flecks of dried grass from the pastures where the sheep graze. These are harmless reminders of its natural origins.
