Easy Care:Regular airing will refresh your duvet, prolonging life and performance. For a more thorough clean, use the hand wash or 30 degrees wool cycle of your washing machine, using a wool care product only. When your machine has stopped you can run a slow spin cycle again to make sure most of the water is out. Do not leave the duvet in the machine for any length of time once the cycle has stopped. Take out the duvet, shake very gently into shape and hang up to air dry. Do not use bleach. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean.
Weight & Togs: Alpaca fibres are naturally excellent at insulating yet can also release excess heat. Therefore any tog comparisons are wide-ranging and unique to you, depending on your natural body temperature. See our guidelines below.

Wool has a natural resistance to dust mites and bacteria, so it doesn’t need frequent washing. We recommend regular airing and this helps to keep the wool nice and fresh. This can be done outside (if the weather is dry), or draped over a clothes airer, near an open window so that air can get right round your duvet.
Should a deeper clean be required, our duvets are machine washable - and it helps to think of them as a big woolly jumper! Machine wash in a large capacity machine (so it has plenty of room to move around inside) on a 30 degrees wool cycle, and using a detergent that is specifically created for wool. A gentle spin to remove excess water and then remove immediately from the machine, reshape and thoroughly air dry. Do not tumble dry. We do not recommend dry cleaning as this process uses chemicals. You can find more information on caring for your duvet here.
If you need to store your duvet at any point, it is best to roll it up and place in the cotton bag it arrived in. Make sure it is stored in a dry place, away from humidity and damp. We would recommend re-airing before you use it again.
