How to Keep your Pure Wool Throws

• You can get your pure wool throw looking as good
  as new pretty easily.
• The little balls are known as pills, and pilling
  happens to many natural fibres, but is especially
  common in wool and cashmere.
• They are caused when loose fibres within the
  weave make their way up to the surface of the
  fabric.

• Once on the surface, they cling onto each other
  and bunch together resulting in the pesky little
  balls.

Tips To Keep Them Safe

• Stay on top of general upkeep
• By shaking or beating your pure wool throw
  regularly, you dislodge all the loose fibres,
  therefore they dont hang around on the surface
  of the throw ready to get matted up every time
  you make contact with it. We recommend giving
  your blanket a good shake every week. Every so
  often, hang it on a line and whack it with a
  tennis racket.

Iron and steam your throws

• Pure wool throw can take up to 30 its weight in
  water so using your irons wool setting and
  pumping steam into the throw will give it extra
  volume and work any low level pilling back into
  the fabric.
• The key is to shake, steam, iron, shake and hang
  over a banister or lay flat to air off. The heat
  of the steam also kills off dust mites and
  bacteria so its like a little bit of a clean
  too.

Shave

• Not for the faint hearted, but its possible to
  shave your pure wool throws and get it up like
  new.
• This works in much the same way as the
  de-fuzzier. Make sure the blade is new and really
  lightly drag the razor over the surface.
