Blankets & Cloaks

Uses for Woolen Blankets

Woolen blankets are great for a variety of uses. They can be used as outerwear, bedding and home decor, or even stylish skirts and blouses. Woolen blankets are warm and comfortable to wear in cold weather because they're made from wool fibers that trap air between them. This keeps you warm by keeping the body's heat close to the skin instead of letting it escape through the blanket's pores like cotton does.

Care Instructions for Woolen Blankets

When you buy a woolen blanket, it's important to follow the care instructions carefully. Woolen blankets should be hand washed in cold water and dried flat or line dried. If you choose to machine wash your woolen blanket, use the gentle cycle and select low heat. Woolen blankets are made from natural fibers that can shrink if they're subjected to high heat while being washed or dried. To avoid this problem, always hang dry your woolen blanket instead of putting it in the dryer.
