MATERIAL CARE

GENERAL CARE

Each piece is crafted from natural fibers selected for their texture, character, and longevity. Subtle variations in color, weave, and surface are inherent to the material and should be expected. Over time, your throw will continue to soften and develop a lived-in patina through regular use. These changes are a natural expression of the fiber and part of what makes each piece unique.

PILLING

As with all fine natural fibers, light pilling may occur with use, particularly in areas exposed to friction. This is a normal characteristic of the fiber and not a defect. Pilling naturally lessens over time and can be gently removed with a fabric comb designed for delicate fibers.

STORAGE

When not in use, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. As with all natural fibers, alpaca and yak should be protected from moths during long-term storage. We recommend storing the piece clean, folded, and in a breathable cotton bag with natural moth deterrents such as cedar or lavender. Avoid plastic bags or airtight containers, which can trap moisture and damage the fibers over time.

cotton

Cotton is a durable natural fiber that softens and develops character through use. Regular care helps maintain its appearance. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, and high heat. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. If needed, lightly iron on a low setting.

Alpaca & yak

Natural fibers such as alpaca and yak naturally resist odor and do not require frequent cleaning. In most cases, allowing the piece to air out between uses is sufficient for regular care. Minor spills should be blotted gently with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing or applying water, detergents, or stain treatments directly to the fiber.

When needed, professional dry cleaning with a trusted cleaner experienced in natural fibers is recommended. Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, stain treatments, or chemical cleaners, as they may damage the natural fibers and alter the texture or color of the piece.

SELECT BLENDS & TRADE APPLICATIONS

While our collections are rooted in natural fibers, select throws and bed scarves developed for trade, hospitality, or large-scale specification projects may incorporate recycled or performance fibers chosen according to application and maintenance requirements. These compositions are thoughtfully considered for such settings. Additional care or maintenance guidance may be provided according to the specific material composition and intended use.
