No matter whether the wind whistles through the fir trees or the sparks from the campfire rise into the night sky - this wool blanket is your reliable shield. Made from 100% pure wool & weighing an impressive 2 kg, it combines archaic robustness with modern functionality. Maximum safety around the campfire Real bushcrafters know: synthetics & open fire don't mix. One spark is enough for your beloved fleece jacket to have a hole or melt on your skin. Naturally flame retardant: wool doesn't burn, it just glows. It offers you a high level of protection against flying sparks. Safe companion: You can sit close to the fire & enjoy the warmth to the full. No melting: While plastic fibers can become dangerous in the heat, wool remains stable & safe. Sustainability that lasts generations in a world of disposable items, this blanket is a statement for conscious consumption. 100% biodegradable: If the blanket is at the end of its life after many decades, it does not leave behind any microplastics, but returns to the cycle as a natural nutrient. Resource-saving: Wool is a renewable raw material. in addition, its self-cleaning function means it has to be washed less often, which saves water & energy. Longevity as a principle: The smooth, solid surface is designed for extreme durability. This is not a one-season blanket, but an heirloom. Material: 100% pure wool Dimensions: approx. 190 125 cm Weight: approx. 2 kg (extra dense insulation) Color: classic olive green - functional & timeless Use: campfire, bushcraft, emergency blanket in the car, home office Care instructions: This will keep your wool blanket looking new for a lifetime Wool has a fascinating self-cleaning power thanks to the natural wool fat (lanolin). With proper care, the structure remains strong, the thermal insulation remains high & the ceiling remains hygienically clean. 1. Airing instead of washing (The Golden Rule) in 90% of cases, a wool blanket does not need to be washed at all. Fresh air: After use, hang the blanket outside in the fresh air (ideally when the humidity is high, e.g. in the morning or after a rain shower - but protected from direct rain). The effect: The water vapor in the air simply carries away odors & tiny dirt particles. The fiber stands up again & becomes fluffy. 2. Mechanical cleaning Since your ceiling has a smooth, solid surface, coarse dirt can be easily removed. Shake out: Shake vigorously after camping to remove any pine needles or dust. Brushing: If there is dried dirt, you can use a soft clothes brush. Always brush in the direction of the grain. 3. If you just have to do some laundry If the blanket is heavily soiled, please note the following: Hand wash or wool cycle: Wash cold or lukewarm (maximum 30oC). Water that is too hot causes the wool to mat. Wool detergent: Be sure to use a special moisturizing wool detergent. Conventional heavy-duty detergents destroy the protective lanolin layer of the fiber. Do not spin: just spin very lightly or squeeze out the water carefully. Never wring it out! 4. Dry properly Dry lying flat: Spread the blanket flat on a drying rack. Hanging to dry can cause the heavy 2kg fabric to warp. No dryer: The tumble dryer is the natural enemy of wool. The heat & friction would irreversibly shrink & mat the blanket. 5. Storage & Protection Moth protection: Since it is a purely natural product, moths love wool just as much as we do. If the blanket is not being used for a long time, store it dry & add a piece of pine wood or a lavender bag. Did you know? A small burn mark from the campfire? With 100% wool, this can often be carefully sanded away with a hard brush or fine sandpaper as the fiber does not melt.
