Wool Cellular Blanket

Made in England by AW Hainsworth, in Bradford.

Bradford in Yorkshire is the traditional wool capital of England and our Wool Cellular blankets are woven in one of the last remaining traditional wool mills in the county.

Woven for The Wool Company by AW Hainsworth, who have been making bed blankets in Bradford, England since 1828. These blankets are as traditional as you can get and are expected to last a lifetime.  These blankets are branded 'The Wool Company'.

Please note that the sizes of these blankets are specified to correctly fit UK standard bed sizes that have full-depth mattresses. They are more generously sized than some "special offer" priced blankets you may find elsewhere, which are often under-sized.

Approximately 300 gsm - Light but warm

Many of our customers carefully hand or machine wash their wool blankets on a cool wool setting at 30℃ using wool-approved detergent, with no spin allow 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.

Sustainable – wool is a natural and fully sustainable fibre from a renewable source.

Wool is nature’s own 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 and the best part is they will not fade or wash out over time.

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. This 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.
