Stig Lindberg Black Berså Wool Blanket

After some time, all-natural wool tends to form burls (small balls of wool on the surface). The finer the wool the more sensitive it is. Avoid too high pressure on the blanket as this may contribute to the creation of burls, do e.g., not use it as a seat cushion or as the primary cover for a sofa. To keep the blanket soft and fluffy you “rug” it. This can be done several times with help of a steel comb or Velcro.

Hold the Velcro vertical and grab both ends between your thumb and index finger. The “teeth” on the Velcro should be in the same direction as you intend to brush. If you hold it correct it should go smooth and be neither heavy nor unsteady. Brush the blanket from within and out, with long, even and sweeping movements. Do not brush too hard – as you may risk losing too much of the wool fibres. Cover the blanket piece by piece, until it is fluffy and has an even surface. Finish off by hanging it outside to air.
