Question 1

What does RWS-certified "extra-fine" Merino wool mean?

Accepted Answer

The term "extra-fine" refers to the exceptional fineness of the fiber, measured in microns. Extra-fine Merino wool has an extraordinarily small diameter of 19.5 microns or less, which gives it a smoother, softer hand feel than standard Merino wool. It's among the finest Merino fibers available.
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) is a third-party certification ensuring that wool is sourced from farms committed to the humane treatment of animals, responsible land management, and full supply chain traceability. Every fiber in this throw meets those standards.

Question 2

Is the Lavé Wool Throw Blanket itchy?

Accepted Answer

No. Extra-fine Merino wool fibers are significantly finer than conventional wool and most standard Merino, which is what removes the prickly sensation many people expect from wool products. This throw is designed to feel soft and smooth directly against the skin.

Question 3

How is Boll & Branch washable wool different from other washable wool?

Accepted Answer

Most washable wool is made by treating the fibers with chlorine and coating them in polymer resin. These chemical processes compromise the fiber's integrity over time. Boll & Branch naturally achieves its washable wool without harsh chemicals, instead using a proprietary combination of fiber sourcing, spinning, and weaving.

Question 4

How do I care for this wool throw? Will it pill?

Accepted Answer

Machine wash cold with mild detergent and tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron. The proprietary washable wool construction is designed to maintain its softness, structure, and shape through regular machine washing without felting or shrinking.
Like all fine natural fibers, some light pilling is a natural and expected occurrence with Merino wool, particularly in areas of regular friction. This is not a defect, but a sign of the fiber's authenticity and will lessen over time as loose fibers naturally shed and the textile stabilizes. To remove pilling gently, use a specialized wool comb.
