Care Instructions: Dry clean only to preserve the structural integrity and loft of the natural wool fibers.Important Shipping & Packaging OptionsTo ensure your historic blanket arrives safely and to save you significant money on shipping costs, this item will be carefully prepared using a premium dual-protection method:

1. Tissue Wrapped: First, the blanket is wrapped in clean tissue paper to protect the natural vintage fibers.
2. Moderate Vacuum Compress: It is then placed inside a secure vacuum bag and compressed moderately. This acts as a 100% waterproof shield against rain, snow, or transit spills, while shrinking the box size to prevent expensive \"oversized package\" carrier fees.
3. Boxed & Padded: Finally, the bag is securely boxed and padded.

Note on Unpacking: Because it will be moderately compressed for transit, the blanket will look wrinkled upon opening. Simply open the bag, shake it out, and hang it up (or place it in a steamy bathroom) for a day or two. The natural crimp of the high-quality English wool fibers will completely bounce back, restoring its beautiful, fluffy loft.** Prefer Standard Shipping?**
If you prefer that your blanket NOT be compressed at all during transit, I am happy to accommodate your request! Please contact me prior to purchasing or sending payment. Note that shipping in a full-sized, uncompressed box will significantly increase the box dimensions and carrier costs, and I will need to adjust the shipping quote accordingly for you.
