Care: Wool has excellent natural dirt resistant properties which makes it unnecessary to wash often. The wool cleans its self and it is repellent to dirt as the dirt stays on the surface due to the natural oils in the wool. A tip is to "let it air" outside when the air is moist. If despite this you still need to wash the blanket/throw please follow the instructions below:

Dry cleaning only. Iron on medium temp. Do not tumble dy or use bleach.

Celebrating Nature: It feels more right than ever to turn to nature for inspiration in our 2011-2012 assortment of Klippan Blankets & Throws. Klippan blankets & throws use natural raw materials that have fantastic benefits not found in synthetic fibers, which is why they choose to offer only wool, cotton and linen in these goods. This makes it possible to ensure the high quality of the blankets and throws and at the same time be environmental friendly. This approach is not new to their Scandinavian textile mills, as many have been in the wool industry since the 1800's.

All of Klippan's blankets & throws are produced from start to finish in company owned mills with an eye towards ecological balance. The designers have created patterns that offer a straight and simple look with a modern touch or more traditional designs with connections to nature and Scandinavian wild life. Whether curling up in front of the television, reading a book or visiting on a porch or patio in the cool of the evening, Klippan blankets & throws will make it a cozy experience.

about the brand

Klippan

The family run business Klippan Yllefabrik was started when Jens Petter Magnusson bought a wool spinning mill at Klippan in 1879. The business grew from year to year and Klippan Yllefabrik's main business was to manufacture and sell yarn for hand weaving and yarn for industrial use until the 1980's. Today, the fourth and fifth generation is working side by side developing the company. The Klippan philosophy is to combine Swedish design with our long tradition of textile knowledge. The company has developed a textile collection in collaboration with famous Swedish designers. All our blankets and throws are manufactured in Klippan’s own factory. Klippan strives to use natural material in their products and try to use eco-material as much as possible. Since the 1970's Klippan Yllefabrik has become of Scandinavia's most modern textile and wool producers.
