I am often asked what makes a wool throw so special and that’s not an easy question to answer. However, a Gotland wool throw is one of the best wool throws for this autumn and winter. If you are looking for the perfect combination of luxury, warmth and sustainability, a Gotland wool throw is the perfect choice.

In this blog, I will take you through the unique characteristics that make this wool so special and why it deserves a place in your home this season.  

What is Gotland Wool

Gotland sheep have beautiful fleeces that range in colour from silver-grey to deep charcoal. Our Gotland wool throws all have a grey undertone. 

Gotland wool comes from the Gotland sheep. This amazing breed of sheep is native to the island of Gotland off the coast of Sweden. The breed dates to the time of the Vikings. These sheep are known for their distinct, curly grey fleeces, which produce a wool that’s unlike any other. It has a natural lustre, silky texture and an incredible softness and strength.

Gotland wool is revered for its natural silver-grey hues that range from soft ash to deep charcoal, giving it a striking earthy beauty. These natural colours make Gotland wool throws incredibly stylish and versatile, which is perfect for creating a cosy corner in your home this autumn and winter.

Top 5 Reasons to choose a Gotland wool throw this Autumn and Winter

 

1. Incredible warmth without the weight.

Gotland wool is known for its exceptional insulating properties. Gotland wool fibres are uniquely structured to trap heat, which makes a Gotland wool throw effective at keeping you warm, even on the chilliest of Autumn days or winter nights. Gotland wool can achieve this warmth without being too thick and heavy. The wool is relatively lightweight and cosy.

This means that you can easily wrap yourself in a Gotland wool throw while on the sofa or snuggled in your favourite chair with a book. Gotland wool throws can be used as an extra layer on the bed. I think they look lovely folded at the foot of the bed.

2. Naturally soft and silky texture

One of the biggest misconceptions about wool is that it’s scratchy or uncomfortable. Gotland wool defies this stereotype with its naturally soft and silky texture thanks to the high lustre of the wool. While it retains a sturdy, rustic and durable quality, it feels gentle against the skin.

3. Timeless

Gotland wool is celebrated for its beautiful, natural grey tones which range from light silvers to deep charcoals. These subtle organic hues when combined with other colours, ensure that a Gotland wool throw is timeless and will compliment your home décor whether that’s rustic, minimalist or contemporary.

This autumn and winter, a Gotland wool throw can add warmth and character to any room of your home, even the outdoors.
