Frequently Asked Questions
What is merino wool and how does it differ from regular wool?
Merino wool is a high-quality wool sourced from Merino sheep. Known for its fine, soft fibres compared to regular wool. This makes merino wool blankets softer and more comfortable, with excellent moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties.
Is merino wool softer than regular wool?
Yes, merino wool is significantly softer than regular wool due to its finer fibres. This makes merino wool blankets exceptionally gentle on the skin, offering luxurious comfort without the itchiness sometimes associated with traditional wool.
Where are your merino wool blankets made?
All Waverley Mills merino wool blankets are proudly made in Australia, at our historic mill in Launceston, Tasmania. Each blanket is crafted with precision and care, celebrating over 150 years of Australian manufacturing heritage. From start to finish, every thread is spun, woven and finished at our historic Mill by Distillery Creek in Tasmania.
Are merino wool blankets suitable for machine washing, or do they need special care?
While merino wool blankets are durable, they do require special care to maintain their luxurious softness and shape. We recommend following the care advice here for handwashing or dry cleaning to preserve their quality over time.
Is merino wool prone to pilling?
Merino wool is less prone to pilling compared to other wool types due to its finer fibres. However, with regular use, some minor pilling may occur, which can be easily removed with a fabric comb, ensuring your merino wool blanket stays looking fresh.
