Organic wool filled duvet:
• Dimensions - 240x220 cm
• Fabric - 100% cotton (certified with OEKO-TEX)
• Filling - 100% sheep wool, 225 GSM.
Wool retains its warmth, but does not overheat the body. Wool absorbs moisture but also allows it to evaporate. Synthetic fibers absorb an average 2% moisture, while wool fiber can absorb around 34% of its own weight in moisture without causing feelings of humidity.
For summer wool comforters we use ~ 225 GSM pure wool. If temperature in a bedroom is about 24 ° C (75F) or more, or a person likes cool comfort these duvets can be suitable all year round.

CARE:
With proper care, wool duvets can last for decades. Wool duvets do not like to be machine washed. Dry cleaning is the best way to clean a wool comforter. In between the dry cleaning, a good shake in open air is adequate. Also ventilate if a natural wool smell seems too strong.

HOW IT IS MADE:
Industry processes wool in huge quantities and uses technological advances for that. They wash wool with harsh and efficient detergents. Here machines as human hands work which can't have a contact with these agents. Carbonising, bleaching, polymer coating and other are conventional wool processing methods. The way it passes damages the wool fiber and loses the major part of the unique features.
Our products use wool untreated by chemicals, just hand washed using natural soap. The chosen method of processing is much heavier but it ensures high-quality and is environment friendly. Hand washed wool preserves the lanolin, which helps to ensure its softness and waviness. Wool is not only the least vulnerable, but also is pleasant to cuddle up. It's time and physical strength consuming work. But the easier way - to buy industrially processed wool is not pointed in our plans. Other way, the idea to share truthful wishes from the countryside would lose its meaning.
