Our Emilie double-faced blankets are incredibly light, soft and springy, with a beautiful drape and a refined finish. They make a stylish bedspread or a versatile woollen blanket with the perfect weight for comfort.
Each blanket is finished with a sophisticated fabric binding and features two colours in one. All versions have a neutral sandy reverse, apart from the Off-White (which is plain throughout), while the Sand blanket has a white reverse. This clever double-faced design makes them a versatile choice for both country homes and contemporary city apartments and we love these blankets for their quality and softness.
At 430 GSM (grams per square metre), they are warm and breathable — ideal as a single layer in summer, yet cosy enough to layer through colder months.

Product Care
The manufacturer advises professional clean only.
Many of our customers carefully hand or machine wash their wool blankets on a cool wool setting at up to 30℃ using a wool-approved detergent. Do not spin.
Allow them to dry naturally. Do not tumble dry.
There will always be some shrinkage after washing (usually up to around 6%)
N.B. Never use your regular laundry detergent on wool. Even "gentle" or non-bio detergents usually contain bleach, which will ruin it.
Origin & Sustainability
Made in the EU.
Designed in Italy and woven in Lithuania. Pure new wool is ethically sourced, certified, and independently audited as being shorn from sheep that have not been mulesed.
Sustainable – wool is a natural and fully sustainable fibre from a renewable source. Wool is nature’s technical wonder fibre and has many inherent qualities that can't be reproduced by manmade fibres. These inherent qualities make wool the natural choice for a good night's sleep.
Comfort – wool is comfortable due to its unique spring-like fibre structure. The natural crimp offers excellent support for all, as well as relief from bed sores and numerous other medical conditions.
Micro-climate control – wool regulates your body temperature, actively keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Maintaining a steady temperature also leads to a more restful sleep.
Air quality – wool fibres absorb and hold on to indoor pollutants, improving the air quality around you while you sleep.
Anti-microbial – wool blankets are naturally anti-microbial due to the fibre protein composition and unique surface scale structure on which bacteria are unable to survive.
Odour control – the moisture-absorbing properties of wool absorb sweat from the skin and halt the generation of odour-causing bacteria, keeping your bedding fresher for longer.
Natural flame resistance – wool is naturally flame-resistant and self-extinguishing and doesn't melt, making for safer sleep and one of the few fibres that don't need coating in artificial flame-resistant chemicals.
Dirt repellent – the antistatic nature of wool reduces the attraction of lint and dust, and the microscopic surface scales prevent dirt from penetrating the fibre surface.
Asthma-friendly – dust mites are a key trigger for Asthma attacks; they cannot survive on wool, making it a perfect choice for asthma sufferers.
