What wool type means for feel
Wool is an animal fiber made primarily of keratin. The Woolmark Company explains that fiber diameter influences feel: finer fibers bend more readily against the skin, while broader fibers are more commonly used in interior applications. Its overview says Merino wool fiber diameter typically ranges from less than 17.5 microns to around 22–24 microns; the page does not state a publication year. These general fiber properties are not a blanket-specific ranking of warmth, softness or durability. Read Woolmark’s explanation of wool fiber.
Names such as Merino, Shetland or lambswool do not establish a blanket’s exact composition or performance. Check the product’s fiber label, including any disclosed blend or separate warp and weft content. Distinguish sheep’s wool from other animal-hair fibers, and do not treat “wool blend” as equivalent to “100% wool.”
How to compare blanket construction
Woolmark’s product specifications recognize flat-woven, pile or woven-and-raised, and knitted blanket categories, along with bedspreads, travel rugs and throws. The categories describe different forms, not a universal ranking of which is warmest or most durable. See Woolmark’s product specification categories.

- WARM & DEPENDABLE - Wool is a time-tested natural fabric that will keep you warm, even when wet. The remainder of the blanket is composed of 20% hypoallergenic synthetic fibers for durability and washability.

- MACHINE WASHABLE - We make it easy to care for your new blanket. Not only are they washable, but they get softer and softer with each wash. Scroll down for detailed care instructions.
Compare a product’s stated construction with another blanket’s, rather than relying on a weave name as a performance guarantee. A woven throw, a raised blanket and a knitted blanket may differ in surface and drape, but the available product information must establish whether those differences suit your needs.
What to check before buying
- Fiber content: Look for the stated percentages and note any disclosed differences between warp and weft. A “wool” description alone does not establish that the blanket is 100% wool.
- Construction: Record the seller’s exact description, such as flat-woven, raised or knitted. Compare like with like where possible.
- Dimensions: Check the manufacturer’s measurements against the bed, sofa or travel use you have in mind. There is no one size recommendation established here.
- Weight, finish and edges: Compare these only when the listing provides specific details; do not assume them from a style or fiber name.
- Care: Read the sewn-in care label or the manufacturer’s instructions before buying. A wool blanket may require hand washing or dry cleaning, and machine washing is appropriate only when the label allows it.
- Certification: If a listing claims Woolmark certification, check that the mark and product details correspond to the item. Woolmark says certified products are tested against relevant specifications, including fiber content, durability, colourfastness to light and liquids, and laundry performance. Certification is useful product evidence, but it does not decide whether a blanket’s size, feel or care requirements suit you. Woolmark describes its certification mark and testing.
How to care for a wool blanket
Care depends on the particular blanket’s construction, dyes, blends and finish, so the sewn-in label takes priority. Woolmark’s blanket guidance recommends airing with good airflow and says a soft-bristle garment brush can be used along the surface grain. For liquid spills, it advises warm water and mild detergent, soaking or blotting rather than scrubbing.
