Enjoy the evening by the crackling fire and a warm woolen blanket wrapped around your shoulders: This is how a day can end comfortably. The Wool Blanket made of pure virgin sheep's wool is always a number one choice. Since wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture, it remains cool in summer and warm in winter. Water-repellent and windproof are the two properties that are especially important when you want to sit on the blanket on the forest floor.

At the campfire, you will benefit from the fabric's breathability, for a comfortable feeling when folding over. Especially practical is the spark resistance, so you can enjoy the heat of the flames with a safe feeling.

100% virgin sheep wool with threads of merino wool

The bicolored blanket, which consists of two layers, is edged with borders of very fine merino wool, which gives it a secure finish. A leather patch with the Petromax logo completes the Wool Blanket.

For easy transport, the blanket is rolled up and tightened with the two adjustable straps. Using the handle, you can easily transport it from one place to another.

From sheep to loden

In Germany, traditionally sheared on the bench. In the outermost layer, the wool protects the sheep from the weather, and underneath the fleece is very light and somewhat curly.

The sheep are sheared and the wool is cleaned. First, the wool is washed in warm water with washing soda, the water is squeezed out and the wool is dried. This removes the wool grease (lanolin/wool wax) and dirt. There are several cleaning basins and in each one the wool is squeezed out and passed slowly so that it does not tangle. Then it is dried with warm air.

First, the wool is combed until a fine pile is formed, which is divided into strips and wound until large rolls of yarn are formed. In the spinning machine and twisting mill, the yarns are twisted in different directions and then portioned into reels. This makes the yarn extremely strong and then it can be woven in the weaving mill. The bouclé thread is turned into loden and the fabric is rolled. Through the pounding, pressure and friction, the compression takes place, which gives loden its excellent properties: wind and water repellent and breathable.
