FAQs

For a sofa, most people choose the Throw S (100 × 150 cm) for one person or the Throw M (120 × 150 cm) for two. For a bed, pick your mattress size; for an overhang, choose the next size up. The size guide at the top of this page shows all 8.

We show every blanket in all 40 colours. Screens differ, so if you're unsure, message us and we'll send a daylight photo of the colour before you order.

A little in the first 2–3 weeks. The loose fibres settle and the shedding stops.

Usually shaking it out and airing it is enough; spot clean small marks. If you wash it, do it by hand in lukewarm water and dry it flat – washing felts the wool slightly. Full steps are in the Care & washing tab on each product.

Yes. Merino fibres are much finer than ordinary sheep's wool, so the blanket feels soft and smooth, not coarse. It is still real wool: it feels warm and airy rather than slippery or velvety like chenille or acrylic.

Chunky wool blankets, knitted by hand

Each merino wool chunky knit blanket is knitted by hand – no needles, no acrylic, no chenille, just 100% merino wool. Merino fibres are finer than ordinary sheep's wool, so the big stitches feel soft and smooth. Wool is a natural fibre and biodegrades in soil, unlike acrylic.

Which size?

Our most popular sizes are the Throw S (100 × 150 cm / 40 × 60 in, a sofa throw for one), the Lap blanket (80 × 120 cm / 30 × 50 in, for an armchair) and the Throw M (120 × 150 cm / 45 × 60 in, for two). For beds, choose Twin, Full, Queen or King – they cover the top of the mattress.

A thick knit blanket, heavy and warm

Each stitch is about 8 cm (3 in) wide. A Throw S weighs about 3 kg (6.6 lb), a King about 7 kg (15.4 lb).
