Wool

Wool fibers from different parts of the world are different. The wool fibers used by Lapuan Kankurit are high-quality, certified pure new wool from South America, Scandinavia, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. The wool yarn is mainly spun in Europe according to Oeko-Tex standard 100 and they guarantee that their wool is mulesing-free and certified.

Wool is known for its good insulating properties, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The surface structure of wool fibers naturally repels water and makes the textile antibacterial and antimicrobial.

Wool is anti-static and odor and stain resistant, so it does not collect dust mites and does not require regular washing. Wool is one of the most durable natural materials. Textiles made from these fibers can last for generations, but are also biodegradable - an ecological and sustainable choice.

Maintenance

You only need to wash the blanket when it is very dirty, otherwise hang the blanket outside in the fresh air for a while. Hand wash at max. 30 ° C or dry clean. If you are using washing powder, dissolve it in plenty of water. Immerse the blanket in water and wash immediately. Squeeze gently. Do not scrub, stretch, or wring. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out most of the water. Press the blanket between towels until it is half dry and let it dry in an airy area. Not in the dryer. Iron with a damp cloth, max. 150 ° C.
