Celebrating Wool Month: 5 reasons to ‘Check It’s Wool’
As the autumn chill settles in, we’re delighted to celebrate Wool Month 2024 with The Campaign for Wool. This year's theme is Check It’s Wool, encouraging us all to be more mindful about the materials we purchase. Here at The British Blanket Company, we’re passionate about wool, so we’re sharing five reasons why wool should be your go-to choice this season.
1. Wool is a Natural, Renewable Fibre
One of the greatest advantages of wool is that it’s renewable. Sheep produce a fresh fleece every year, which means the wool supply can be replenished without harming the environment. By choosing products like our wool blankets and throws, you’re supporting sustainable farming practices and ensuring that your home is filled with eco-friendly materials.
Unlike synthetic fibres, wool is biodegradable, which means it will safely return to the earth at the end of its life. So, next time you’re shopping for home textiles, take a moment to Check It’s Wool and make a choice that’s kind to the planet.
2. Wool Regulates Temperature and Moisture
Have you ever wondered how sheep stay cool during summer months? Wool actually regulates moisture and temperature, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Its moisture-wicking properties help keep you dry, while its natural breathability ensures you stay comfortable.
Our wool products offer the perfect solution for a cosy autumn night or a light cover on warmer evenings. So when you Check It’s Wool, you’re investing in all-season comfort that synthetic fibres just can’t match.
3. Wool is perfect for babies
When choosing textiles for little ones, wool is an ideal choice. Naturally soft, hypoallergenic, and resistant to dust mites, wool creates a gentle environment that’s perfect for delicate baby skin. Our merino wool baby blankets are specially designed to offer comfort and breathability, helping to regulate a baby’s temperature for peaceful sleep. In fact, studies have shown that babies sleep better when wrapped in wool, making it a thoughtful and practical gift for any new-born.
This merino wool baby blanket is ideal for new-borns, wool's regulating properties will keep little ones at the perfect temperature.
4. Wool Supports British Craftsmanship
Our wool products support a centuries-old tradition of British craftsmanship. At The British Blanket Company, we’re proud to work with British mills that use traditional techniques to create our beautiful wool blankets and throws. Every product we offer is a testament to the skill and care that goes into working with this incredible natural fibre.
By choosing wool products from our collection, you’re helping to keep these traditional skills alive, while also supporting local farmers and producers. Whether you’re purchasing a throw for your living room or a scarf for outdoor adventures, you’re investing in a piece of British heritage that will be cherished for years to come.
5. Wool Lasts a Lifetime
Unlike synthetic alternatives that wear out quickly, wool is incredibly durable and long-lasting. With proper care, wool products can last for decades, making them a worthwhile investment for your home. Wool’s natural resilience means it holds its shape, resists pilling, and continues to look as good as new, even with regular use.
By choosing our 100% wool blankets and throws, you’re not just purchasing a product for this season – you’re investing in a timeless piece that will bring warmth and comfort for years to come. When you Check It’s Wool, you’re choosing quality that endures.
