How should I clean and store the blanket?
Gentle care goes a long way. Wool is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, so it doesn’t need frequent washing like other fabrics. We suggest spot-cleaning when possible and giving your blanket a good shake now and then to keep the fibers lively. If a deeper clean is needed, our blankets and bed runners are machine washable in cold water on the gentle cycle using a natural detergent, or even a simple mix of vinegar and baking soda. To dry, hang outside or use the delicate setting in the dryer. They can also be dry cleaned. When not in use, store your blanket in the linen bag that can be purchased along with the blanket. .
