What is the difference between Shetland wool and Merino wool?
Shetland wool, from the fleece of Shetland sheep in Scotland, produces sturdy and rustic throws, particularly popular in country homes. Merino wool, originally from Spain, is finer and softer. It is suitable for both the living room and the bedroom.
Is a pure wool throw warm?
Yes, wool is a naturally insulating fiber that regulates warmth according to ambient temperature. It keeps you warm in winter while remaining comfortable during transitional seasons.
Is a wool throw scratchy?
It depends on the type of wool. Merino wool, which is very fine, is soft and pleasant to the touch against the skin. Shetland wool, being thicker and more rustic, can be slightly rough—this is a characteristic of the fiber, not a defect in quality.
How do I care for a pure wool throw?
Wash your wool throw by hand or in a machine on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C with a special wool detergent. Avoid tumble drying and lay flat to dry to maintain its shape.
