Is Shetland wool itchy?

Shetland wool is softer than many coarse wools but not as smooth as merino. Most owners wear it over clothing or use it as a layer, and sensitive skin may notice a light prickle.

How big is the Harland throw?

It measures about 55 inches wide by 73 inches long, excluding the fringe. That is large enough to cover an adult or drape across a sofa.

Can I machine wash it?

Use a cool wool or hand-wash cycle with a wool-safe detergent, then dry flat. Hot water and tumble drying can shrink or felt the wool.

Is it warm enough for winter?

Yes. Woven wool holds warmth well, and owners use it as a winter sofa throw or an extra bed layer. It is warmer than cotton but lighter than a heavy knit.

It suits housewarming and holiday gifts for people who like natural home textiles. Check whether the recipient minds wool's texture before choosing it.

Our take on the Woolroom Harland Shetland Wool Throw

The Harland is a woven throw made from 100% Shetland-quality wool, finished with a fringed edge and sized generously at roughly 55 by 73 inches. Shetland wool is soft but springy and holds warmth well, so this sits between lighter cotton throws and heavy chunky-knit blankets. It suits people who want a natural, eco-friendly wool layer for a sofa or bed and prefer a classic woven look over a printed design. Against synthetic fleece throws it is warmer and more breathable, but it needs gentler washing and costs more than mass-market alternatives.
