Troubleshooting
Throw feels scratchy
This can sometimes occur with new wool. Gently air the throw outdoors for a few hours or follow the care instructions for a gentle hand wash. Over time, the wool fibers often soften with use.
Slight odor upon arrival
Natural wool can have a distinct scent. Air the throw outdoors in a shaded, well-ventilated area for a day or two to dissipate any odors.
Color transfer to furniture
While unlikely with quality dyes, ensure the throw is fully dry before placing it on light-colored or delicate furniture. If concerned, place a protective layer underneath.
Visible wear or pilling
Gently remove pills with a fabric comb or electric fabric shaver. Avoid rubbing the affected area excessively during use.
