Are your products all made from 100% British Wool?Yes - absolutely 100% ! We only use certified British wool - sourced directly from British farmers or from British Wool.
-
How do I know your products are made from 100% British wool?We are a fully accredited British Wool brand partner. British Wool have independently vetted our supply chain to ensure all the wool we use in our products is verified 100% British. The wool we source directly from British Wool is part of the British Wool Traceable Scheme - which means we can trace our wool right back to the farm.
-
Are all your products made in Britain?Yes - 100% ! All our products are made by expert British craftsmen & proudly manufactured here in Yorkshire, England. We do everything we can to make sure every element used in our products is made in Britain. However, the sad fact is that a couple of components have to be sourced from further afield simply because we do not manufacture them in Britain. It's frustrating & we're always on the look out for new British options but right now that's the reality of the situation.
-
Are your products responsibly sourced?Yes they are. We take our ethical, social & environmental responsibilities extremely seriously. It's not a perfect world, but we are actively committed to ensure that every step of our sourcing & manufacturing process is as ethical & environmentally sustainable as possible. If this means we have to sacrifice profit to have more sustainable & therefore sometimes more expensive solutions - then so be it.
-
What about animal welfare?Animal welfare is of the utmost important to us... & that's one of the big reasons we only source & use British wool. Britain has the strictest animal welfare laws in the world - which include ALL of the World Organisation for Animal Health animal welfare standards. AND... we ensure that our wool is fully certified by British Wool who operate a robust programme called 'The Five Freedoms' which ensure the highest standards of animal welfare.
-
How do I care from my woollen bedding?The best way to keep your woollen bedding fresh is to air your woollen duvet, pillow or mattress topper on the line on a dry day - this will freshen the wool. If you need to clean your woollen duvet, pillow or mattress topper, we suggest you take it to a reputable dry cleaner. Please see the care instructions detailed on our product pages.
-
How do I keep my wool throw fresh?The best way to keep your 100% British wool throw fresh is to air it on the line outside where the air will naturally loosen light dirt & dust & freshen up your throw. Please see the care instructions detailed on our product pages.
-
Can I machine wash my woollen throw?It’s not recommended to wash your woollen throw in the washing machine, as this could damage the throw.

-
Can I dry clean my woollen throw?If a more thorough clean is required you can dry clean your woollen throw. We would recommend that you use a reputable dry cleaner & check they know how to treat a pure wool product. Please see the care instructions detailed on our product pages.
-
Can I use fabric softener on my woollen throw?No! It is generally recommended that you do not use a fabric softener as this will mostly likely damage your throw. Please see the care instructions detailed on our product pages. The best way to soften your woollen throw is to use it - as wool has a tendency to soften & become more subtle with use over time. Snuggle up!
-
Can I dry my woollen throw in a dryer?No! It is generally not recommended to dry your woollen throw in a dryer, as the heat & agitation can cause shrinkage, felting & distortion of the fabric. The best thing to do is to dry it on a flat surface - perhaps on a towel laid out on a table. Please see the care instructions detailed on our product pages.
-
Can I iron my woollen throw?No - please don't do that! It is strongly recommended not to iron a woollen throw.

Please see the care instructions detailed on our product pages.
-
How do I remove stains from my woollen throw?If the stain is fresh or wet, use a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel to gently dab the area. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain further into the fabric. If the stain has dried try using a diluted specialist wool detergent to gently treat the stain. Failing that, it is generally recommended that you take your woollen throw to a reputable dry cleaner. Please see the care instructions detailed on our product pages.
