High-quality wool blankets and natural hair blankets made from alpaca, cashmere, and virgin wool

High-Quality Wool Blankets for Natural Comfort

Ritter Decken stands for natural hair products made from high-quality raw materials. A blanket made of virgin wool not only keeps you warm in cold winter temperatures but also ensures optimal temperature regulation in milder weather. If you are looking for a wool blanket where the natural state of the warming wool has truly been preserved, then our range of high-quality cozy blankets is exactly what you need. While warming blankets can also be produced cheaply, the advantage of natural hair blankets lies in their skin-friendly climate and soft fibers. A wool blanket from our catalog is suitable for discerning customers, free from plasticizers & unnatural additives. If they are colored blankets, they are dyed only with high-quality dyes. Wool blankets were increasingly replaced by industrially manufactured synthetic fibers in the last century. But especially for children, babies, and people who want a durable product, high-quality wool blankets are ideally suited.

Why a Natural Hair Blanket Always Keeps You Warm

It's no wonder that virgin wool was one of the most important textile fibres in ancient Rome. Even back then, wool and the products woven from it, such as high-quality blankets, were an important part of local trade. Today, a natural hair blanket remains a valuable product because the acquisition of the raw material for a wool blanket is only conditionally scalable. A virgin wool blanket can protect against cold so well because the crimped wool hairs form small air chambers and thus ensure natural temperature regulation. It's no coincidence that wool blankets can be used in all moderate to low temperatures without immediately creating a stuffy feeling. The high absorbency of a wool blanket also contributes to a pleasant skin climate. Moisture like sweat can be absorbed to a large extent and then, unlike many synthetic fibre blankets, wicked away from a virgin wool blanket.

Wool has the property of neutralizing body sweat.

Wool blankets for babies and children

Especially for babies and small children, a wool blanket can be very important for maintaining their body temperature. Since babies sleep a lot in the first few months and have to get used to their new, less protected environment, a virgin wool blanket is ideal for both regulating their body temperature and not burdening their sensitive skin with rather air-impermeable synthetic blankets. High-quality blankets are a worthwhile investment that, thanks to their good durability with correct care, offer a long lifespan. If you are concerned about not being able to clean a virgin wool blanket properly, you can also simply use the wool blanket as a warming underlay and stretch an easily washable flannel cotton sheet over it. Fortunately, wool blankets are also not susceptible to odors, so the natural hair blanket stays nicely fresh with little effort.

Ritter Blankets – The classic wool blanket without harmful substances

High-quality wool blankets are also characterized by the fact that both the raw material extraction and the manufacturing process are carried out gently. When selecting the material for the Ritter Luxury Virgin Wool Blanket, exquisite materials such as baby alpaca and cashmere are used, either alone or in combination with sheep's wool or alpaca wool from adult animals, to ensure a particularly soft feel against the skin. During manufacturing, our natural hair blankets also avoid unnecessary chemicals such as bleach. With Ritter Blankets, you enjoy the natural beauty and comfort of fine wool. In addition, we have our natural hair wool blankets tested for harmful substances on a random basis to ensure that we provide you with a product that is as untreated as possible. Luxury wool blankets from our range are classically woven and manufactured with the utmost care based on our generational experience.

Our high-quality virgin wool for your wool blankets

The material we use for our virgin wool blankets is a renewable raw material. With species-appropriate keeping, sheep and alpacas can live long and good lives, in addition to occasional shearing, so that the sustainable production of a natural fiber wool blanket also protects the environment. High-quality cuddly blankets also have the special characteristic that they are both extremely durable and easily biodegradable in water or soil. This natural decomposition process benefits the environment, as neither microplastics enter waters nor additional waste is produced by a virgin wool blanket. Wool blankets can thus bring joy for many years before they become part of the ecosystem again at the end of their lifespan. So, when you buy a warm wool blanket, you are not only doing your skin a favor, but also the environment.

Buying and properly caring for a warm wool blanket

A wool throw blanket is not only a luxurious eye-catcher on your sofa, but also ideal for snuggling up on cool days. To ensure your virgin wool blanket stays beautiful for a long time, we have put together some tips for caring for natural fiber blankets. As a general rule, the care label on a virgin wool blanket should be observed, which often advises against normal machine washing. If a virgin wool blanket can be washed, a gentle wash cycle with the lowest possible temperature and a mild wool detergent is still recommended for wool blankets. For wool throw blankets, this also ensures that lost wool wax (lanolin) is replaced and the virgin wool blanket remains beautifully soft. Of course, natural fiber blankets like our high-quality Ritter blankets can be easily aired out. This actually removes most unpleasant odors from a natural wool blanket.
