WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT BEAUFRONT MERINO WOOL?
The 18-micron wool for the Collector’s Edition Plaid is sourced from Beaufront. Julian and Annabel von Bibra are the fourth generation of the von Bibra family to run merinos on their picturesque farm in Ross, Tasmania. Beaufront uniquely blends conservation with agriculture, where superfine merino sheep graze in managed native bush. This approach ensures that the natural diversity is protected for future generations.
A BIT ABOUT MICRONS
The smaller the micron count, the finer the wool fibre will be. Wool typically falls in a range of 18–40 microns. These throws are made with supple 22 micron Merino wool, making them soft enough to cosy up with inside but durable enough for outdoor use.
Due to the nature of our products there may be some slight variation in sizing.
While we have done our best to photography the colour accurately, colours may vary between monitors.
From time to time, your delicate product may need refreshing. We suggest airing outside, rather than washing. A steamy bathroom or a frosty night will also invigorate and refresh fibres.
For any spills or mishaps, we recommend spot cleaning. You can find more details here.
You may choose to dry clean and if so, we recommend discussing the care instructions with your chosen drycleaner before leaving your product.
We do not recommend machine washing your product, even if your machine has a delicate or hand wash cycle.

FAQ
How soft is your merino wool?
The industry standard is to measure wool by microns. The lower the micron count, the finer, and softer, the wool. We use 18-micron merino wool for our super soft throws, making them buttery soft to the touch and the perfect addition to any home decor.
Will wool pill?
Pilling is a natural part of the lifecycle of wool. Abrasion and friction are the most likely causes of pilling, but may be unavoidable over the life cycle of your natural fibre product.
The good news is that pilling is easily remedied. Simply remove the pills carefully, by hand or with a comb, for a good as new appearance.
Where are your products made?
We make everything right here at our mill in Launceston, Tasmania. From weaving, right through to cutting and finishing, our products don’t leave the mill until they’re on their way to you.
