FAQs for Wool Blankets

1. Are 100% wool blankets good for year-round use?

Absolutely! Wool is naturally temperature regulating, helping you stay cozy when it's cold while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape when it's warmer. This makes our 100% Australian merino wool blankets a wonderful choice for year-round comfort, whether you're snuggling up on a winter evening or enjoying a cool summer night.

2. Are Woolino wool blankets machine washable?

Yes! Our Woolino wool blankets are machine washable, making them easy to care for and enjoy every day. Simply follow the care instructions on the label to help preserve the wool's natural softness, shape, and quality for years to come.

3. What is the difference between a wool blanket and a synthetic blanket?

Unlike synthetic blankets, which are typically made from petroleum-based fibers like polyester, wool blankets are made from natural, renewable fibers. Wool is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature regulating, helping you stay comfortably warm without trapping excess heat and moisture. Wool is naturally durable, and also biodegradable, making it a thoughtful choice for lasting comfort that's kind to the planet.

4. Can I use a Woolino wool blanket outdoors?

6. What makes merino wool blankets better than regular wool blankets?

Merino wool is prized for its exceptionally fine fibers, softness, and natural ability to regulate temperature and manage moisture. It offers the warmth and durability of traditional wool with a softer, more luxurious feel.

7. Are wool blankets breathable, or do they make you sweat?

Wool is naturally exceptionally breathable and helps absorb and release moisture vapor, keeping you more comfortable throughout the night. Unlike synthetic blankets that trap heat and moisture, merino wool helps you maintain a comfortable sleeping environment without feeling too warm.

8. What do Woolmark and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certifications mean?

Woolmark certification verifies that wool products meet established standards for wool content and quality. OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification means the textile has been tested for harmful substances. These certifications offer added confidence in the quality and safety of your Woolino blanket.
