How to care for prison wool

MACHINE WASHABLE (if you must)- Every Standard Blanket Co wool blanket is washed during production so you can use it right away. However, at some point you'll probably want to wash it. We recommend using a detergent formulated specifically for wool for best results. Like all loom-woven blankets, this blanket will shed during the first few washes. 

To keep shedding to an absolute minimum, we recommend hand washing your blanket in cold water. You may also machine wash your blanket separately in cold water on a delicate cycle. Avoid top loaders with a center agitator as they can cause damage and will increase shedding.

To extend the life of your blanket, we also recommend line drying. Dryers are hard on clothes and blankets alike, and line drying is much gentler.
