Washing / care Instruction
- Your Bloom Blanket is made from wool-cashmere fabric which means that it can never be placed in a washing machine or dryer.
- We recommend spot cleaning your Bloom Blanket rather than soaking. However, If you do need to wash your blanket you will need to hand-wash it using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Gently work the suds through the fabric and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do not wring or twist your Bloom Blanket as it will lose its form and structure. Avoid rubbing the blanket against itself as this will cause pilling
- When drying your Bloom Blanket, gently squeeze out the excess water (without wringing or twisting) and lay it flat to air dry.
Editors note:
Bloom Blankets are made of a Wool Cashmere blend fabric and react with their environment. Take your blanket out of it's packaging and fully open the blanket. It is essential to allow the blanket to fully expand on its own. We suggest leaving it laying flat on a bed or over a sofa for at least 24 hours. Once the material has had enough time to expand and adjust to your home climate you can then start stylising the blanket as you like.
There are two sides to the Bloom and we find that the inside with the stitching holds the pyramids better and is good for when the blanket is used ornamentally. It is best to do this with another person for the first time. This allows some air to go in to the pyramids. Do not push in the pyramids with your fingers in order to make them stand as this deforms the material for good. We use the smoother side when cozying up on the sofa. Enjoy your Bloom.
