Caring for our Small-batch BlanketUpdated a year ago

How do I wash my Small-batch Blankets? 

Our blankets are all completely machine washable - cold water wash with a natural fabric softener. Do not bleach.


Can I put my blanket in the dryer?

Drying on a delicate setting/low heat is fine. But please note that a high heat tumble dry will result in over-tightening of the weave of the blanket.


Help! I tumble dried my blanket on high heat and now it's stiff!

No need to fret there are 2 great solutions!

1. A good steam iron will help relax that weave and bring it back to its original texture and size

2. Soak the blanket in a sink of lukewarm water with fabric softener for 3-4 hours and run it through another delicate wash cycle followed by a delicate tumble dry on a low heat. The fabric softener soak should loosen the weave up nicely and bring it back to its original texture and size.
