WHAT IS WOOL?

Naturally soft and with exceptional breathability and lofting properties, Fibres by Nature range of products is made from luxurious natural fibres providing a soft and exclusive product. Pure Australian & New Zealand wool keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer 

HOW TO WASH WOOL PRODUCTS

Fibres By Nature blankets are machine washable. As with alpaca fibres, wool doesn’t respond well to hot water so it’s best to wash them on a cool wash followed with a gentle spin cycle. Many modern washing machines have a dedicated wool wash setting. While a specialised wool washing detergent is always best, a gentle biodegradable detergent works well too. Where possible, place your wool bedding inside a laundry bag when washing to prevent pilling, felting and knots. For ingrained stains and dirt, dry cleaning is your best option.

HOW TO DRY WOOL PRODUCTS

If you’re wondering what the best way to dry wool quilts is, the answer is air-drying. After the spin cycle in the washing machine, the majority of excess moisture should have been removed from the product. If it still feels saturated, place it inside a laundry bag or old pillow case and re-spin once more. Unlike cotton, wool products are best dried in partial or full shade. This prevents excessive heat causing the fibres to shrink or distort. When placing back on the bed, give the quilt a good plumping to encourage airflow and a cloud-like finish.
