2. How does The Woolly Brand care for you
Environmentally Friendly & Sustainable Packaging
At The Woolly Brand it's important to us that we do our bit in leaving our little patch better than when we found it. By purchasing from The Woolly Brand you can be sure that you are getting the best quality woolly items that are natural, renewable, biodegradable and sustainably produced. This includes using the gentle and natural fibres in all our pieces - if your little person is nurtured in The Woolly Brand they will be safe, snug, and doing their bit for a sustainable future for generations to come.
At the Woolly Brand we love getting our woollies out in the garden, our way to give back to your garden is to send your woolly items to you in home compostable packaging. All you need to do is pop it in your compost bin and continue digging your tomatoes, basil and broccoli knowing that your woolly package wont take 400+ years to breakdown, in fact in about 90 to 120 days your mailer, postcard, tissue and stickers will be composted ready for your veggies! How fab is that!
At The Woolly Brand we are working towards being plastics-free. We aren't there yet, sometimes certain bits and bobs don't quite have the right environmentally conscious alternative or the durability that we want for our pieces at The Woolly Brand.
We are keen to reduce unnecessary waste and so you might notice that not all woolly items come with extra packaging gift wrapping. We are trying to do our bit to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost where we can, we hope you understand.
3. Caring for your Wool
How do I wash my woollies?
At The Woolly Brand we like to make life as easy as possible, this includes where possible trying to make our items washing friendly. Ideally with all woollen products, hand washing using a gentle wool detergent and drying on a flat sun protected surface is best.
If hand washing isn't your thing, no worries, check your woolly care tag and if it includes the a machine washing symbol then you are good to go on gentle wool cycle at 40 degrees celsius, just remember to use a gentle wool detergent.
Please note that woollies with wooden buttons will degrade over time as they are a naturally biodegradable product, gentle care is advised.

4. Storing your Wool
How do I store my woolly order?
If you live down south like us you will likely not need to store your woolly items as they will be a regular on your little person, in the nappy bag or even your beach bag for use all year round. If you live in lovely warm climates and want to store your woolly items away from pesky moths and critters here is what you should do. Wash your woolly items and then pop in an air tight vacuum pack. Alternatively you can store them in a wool or 100% cotton storage bag, wrapped in acid free tissue in a storage container with a cedar block. Regularly check your woolly items incase those pesky critters have decided your items are the perfect snack and home.
