- Is the wool scratchy?
- The wool face has a dry, textured hand, so it is better as a back or armrest cushion than against bare skin. The cotton in the blend softens it somewhat.
- Can I machine wash it?
- No. Hand-woven wool should be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then air dried. Machine washing risks felting and distorting the weave.
- Does the cover come off?
- Treat it as a decorative pillow with a fixed cover. The polyester fill is not designed for easy removal, so clean the surface rather than the insert.
- Will it shed?
- Some loose wool fibers are normal on a hand-woven piece. Vacuum gently with a brush attachment and avoid pulling at loose strands.
- How does it compare with a cotton striped pillow?
- The wool gives more texture and warmth than flat cotton, but cotton is softer to the touch and easier to clean. Choose wool for looks, cotton for everyday use.
