Can I wash my Bronte throw?
Although some people will cold wash wool, or use the wool cycle on a modern washing machine, we advise that all Bronte products are professionally dry cleaned. Please see full Product Care details

Are the products British Made?

Yes, all Bronte products are made in our mill in West Yorkshire.
Our mill is one of the last 'vertical' mills left in the UK meaning we perform every stage of the process from raw fleece to finished product in our mill. For full details of how our products are made please see the page about The Mill

Are your products EcoFriendly?
All our products are made from 100% wool. Wool is known for its sustainable qualities and its supreme versitility. It is biodegradable and a natural insulator.
For the full benefits of wool please see our page about the Campaign for Wool.

Where does the Wool come from?
The wool used in Bronte products is predominatley from South Africa (Merino Lambswool) and New Zealand (Pure New Wool). Wool from these locations is softer and more suited to fabrics for soft furnishings.

How do I prevent my wool items being damaged from clothes moths?
Household pests such as clothes moths, silverfish and carpet beetles may damage soft furnishings and fabrics made from wool. We would always advise you contact a professional pest controller to eradicate these insects from you home.
