Wool has excellent natural dirt-resistant properties which makes it unnecessary to wash often. Let your blanket air outside in humid weather. If your blanket still needs maintenance, please dry clean only. Iron at medium temperature. Do not tumble dry or use bleach.
In remote villages tucked into the Himalayan mountain belt of North India, Maati Collective members, a self-help group, are revitalizing woolen crafts by combining traditional techniques and natural materials with modern designs. Through this regeneration of knitting and weaving practices, over 100 women artisans improve their lives and strengthen local communities.
