Pure Merino wool is an artisanal investment in ultimate comfort. While natural wool traditionally has a reputation for being high-maintenance, WOVENTON’s Merino wool blankets are engineered to be refreshingly user-friendly.
Thanks to our specialized multi-step finishing process—including carbonized impurity removal, repeated pre-washing cycles, and vintage milling—our pure wool fibers are pre-shrunk and exceptionally relaxed before reaching your home. This proprietary treatment controls natural shrinkage to under 3% and eliminates scratchiness, making care far simpler than standard wool.
Professional Dry Cleaning (Primary Recommendation)
As a 100% pure wool luxury investment, professional dry cleaning is the ideal way to preserve the pristine, factory-fresh quality of your throw.
Periodic dry cleaning minimizes fiber agitation, preserves the rich vintage-milled softness, and ensures the blanket's original shape, weight, and subtle luster remain completely untouched over years of use.
Machine Washing (Alternative Home Care)
While dry cleaning is preferred for maintaining maximum luxury, our pre-washed treatment also makes gentle home machine washing a safe, reliable option when needed:
-
Cold Water Only (30°C / 86°F): Always select a 30°C cold cycle. High temperatures can cause wool fibers to felt and contract beyond our controlled 3% limit.
-
Wool or Delicate Setting: Set your washing machine to a dedicated wool or gentle cycle with a slow spin speed to minimize mechanical friction.
-
Wool-Specific Liquid Detergent: Use a neutral, pH-balanced wool detergent. Avoid standard laundry detergents, enzymes, bleach, or fabric softeners, which strip natural wool oils and weaken fiber elasticity.
-
Protect in a Laundry Bag: Place your blanket in a large mesh washing bag to shield the ultra-fine fibers from direct contact with the machine drum.
Drying & Shape Preservation
-
Air Dry Flat Only: Never tumble dry. High heat will permanently damage pure Merino wool. After washing, gently reshape your damp blanket and lay it flat on a drying rack in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
-
Avoid Direct Sun & Hanging: Never hang heavy wet wool from a single clothesline, as the water weight will pull and distort the drape. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber drying and color fading.
Storage & Seasonal Refresh
-
Natural Breathing: Merino wool is naturally stain- and odor-resistant. Often, a gentle shake and an afternoon aired in the shade is all it takes to refresh your throw without a full wash.
-
Off-Season Storage: Store your blanket clean in a breathable cotton storage bag with natural cedar balls to protect against moths and ambient humidity.
