Ultimately, along with its natural materials, softness, and beautiful appearance, the size plays an important role in making the Klippan Gotland blanket your new favorite.

Wool, new wool, or lambswool – what is the difference?

Wool is a natural and renewable raw material. This blanket is made partly (one quarter) from new wool from the Gotland sheep—a breed already shorn by the Vikings, who appreciated its high quality—and 3/4 from lambswool. Lambswool refers to the wool from a sheep's (very) first shearing. It is particularly soft because the fibers are still very fine. Like new wool, it is obtained from live sheep, usually in the spring, and ideally in one piece. After shearing, the wool is combed and loosened before being dyed in wonderful colors and spun into yarn. The Klippan Gotland blankets are then woven from this wool. Lambswool is said to be barely scratchy, breathable, and to have excellent insulating properties. It warms in winter and cools in summer. Klippan does everything to ensure the blanket feels soft, which is why the lambswool is extra pre-combed; nevertheless, this quality is naturally scratchier than a cotton blanket would be, and the blanket will shed slightly, especially at the beginning.

The Gotland blanket can be wonderfully washed at 30 degrees, so you can easily wash your cozy blanket yourself whenever needed. To ensure you enjoy your wool blanket for a long time, it is best to use a mild wool detergent and avoid fabric softener. Remember that natural wool grease has a self-cleaning effect, and you wash it out bit by bit with every wash. When it comes to the natural grey Gotland blanket, hang it outside on the line and let the wind do the work instead of the washing machine.
