Each blanket represents the perfect blend of heritage techniques, timeless design, and innovative processes, ensuring products that are both beautiful and durable.

We focus on efficient production, responsible sourcing, and timeless designs — not excessive markups. By maintaining a very low advertising and marketing budget, we avoid passing unnecessary costs on to our customers. This allows Moe Ridne to offer premium wool blankets made from natural fibers at accessible prices, without compromising on quality, comfort, or durability.

EXTREMELY SOFT and SUPER WARM: Merino and Cashmere blend has excellent thermal abilities, durable and yet, retains that luxurious silky cashmere feel. 

LIGHTWEIGHT: Cashmere and merino are two of the world’s softest and most premium wool fabrics. Very light and gentle for even the most sensitive skin. 

 CONTEMPORARY - Dark Sage or Olive green is a colour that is used in interior design to create an elegant ambience. It is normally associated with nature, that creates a calming, relaxing and comforting atmosphere. 

ODOUR-RESISTANT. The lanolin on the fibres has antimicrobial properties this helps to neutralise odours. This property also reduces blanket washing frequency.

Caring for a cashmere and merino blend blanket requires a gentle approach, as both fibres are delicate yet remarkably durable when treated properly. Your wool blanket can last a lifetime if you know how to care for it.

Wool, including blends like cashmere and merino, is naturally rich in lanolin. This helps repel odours and minor spills, so frequent washing is unnecessary—and best avoided. Instead, try to air your blanket outside in fresh air every so often; this can refresh it effectively without any risk of damage.

But of course, the weather doesn’t always allow for hanging your wool blanket outside to refresh it, which is where a hand steamer comes in handy. Steaming refreshes your blanket instantly—smoothing out creases, removing odours, killing bacteria, and reviving the fibres. 

As per washing, always let it dry flat after steaming.

A merino wool and cashmere blanket is generally highly suitable for sensitive skin. Both merino wool and cashmere fibres are well known for their exceptional softness and fine texture. Cashmere and merino fibres are naturally breathable and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions. Merino wool, in particular, has a fine diameter which results in a smooth feel that doesn’t itch or scratch like coarser wools. Cashmere is even softer, often considered one of the gentlest natural fibres available.

Additionally, both materials are hypoallergenic by nature—they tend not to trap dust mites or bacteria as easily as some synthetic fabrics might. Their breathability ensures good temperature regulation, helping prevent overheating or clamminess that can sometimes trigger discomfort in sensitive skin.

For those with extremely sensitive skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis, it’s always best to check for any specific allergies beforehand and choose blankets labelled as pure wool free from any other blend. However, most people find merino wool and cashmere blankets comfortable, soothing, and safe for daily use—even directly against bare skin.

When it comes to wool blankets and duvets, it's important to understand that measuring warmth isn't as straightforward as looking at a tog rating. Tog ratings, originally designed for synthetic bedding, gauge thermal insulation under fixed conditions. However, wool operates differently due to its unique properties.

Why Tog Ratings Don’t Apply to Wool

Wool is naturally temperature-regulating. Unlike synthetic materials that merely trap heat, wool features moisture-wicking and breathable qualities. This means it keeps you warm during winter while also allowing excess heat and moisture to escape when the temperature rises. Consequently, wool remains effective across a broader range of temperatures than an average tog-rated product.

Additionally, the heat transfer characteristics of wool are complex. The standard laboratory tests employed for tog ratings measure a fabric's thermal resistance in a controlled environment; they fail to capture the dynamic nature of wool's ability to insulate while simultaneously dissipating heat.

How the Warmth of Wool is Measured

Instead of relying on tog ratings, the warmth of a wool blanket or duvet is commonly assessed using two key metrics: grams per square meter (gsm) and the associated feel it provides:

Grams Per Square Meter (gsm): This measurement reflects the weight and density of the wool filling. A higher gsm indicates more filling and therefore greater warmth.

- 200–300 gsm: Comparable to approximately 4.5 tog (summer weight).

- 400–500 gsm: Equates to about 7–9 tog (all-season weight).

- 600–700 gsm: Represents roughly 10–13.5 tog (winter weight).

Modern manufacturers offer a wide variety of such products, so let’s take a look at the types of blankets and how to choose the right one.

Blankets are made from cotton, wool, and synthetic materials.

Cotton blankets are considered a “summer option.” Despite being lightweight and soft, they can still keep you warm in colder seasons. It is durable and withstands frequent washing. Cotton blankets are considered environmentally friendly.
Their downside is a relatively simple appearance, making them more suitable for a child’s room or a rustic-style bedroom. Also, they are not as warm as wool or fleece so it may not keep you warm enough during colder months.

Synthetic blankets. Artificial fabrics are resistant to wear, and their colors are much more varied than those of wool or cashmere products. Synthetic blankets can be machine-washed and are significantly cheaper than natural ones. However, a major drawback is that they do not “breathe” well and absorb moisture poorly, so they are better used as bedspreads for a bed, sofa, or armchair.

Synthetic blankets made of acrylic, fleece, or microfiber are great for travel and picnics. They are practical, lightweight, and easy to wash. 

However, if you want something for your home that truly wraps you in warmth and comfort, a wool blanket is the best choice. 

Wool blankets (made from merino, camel, sheep wool, or cashmere).
Wool is a natural fiber obtained from sheep and is known for its excellent insulating and breathable properties. It provides effective temperature regulation: keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Notably, wool not only warms but can also have therapeutic benefits. It is especially helpful for people who suffer from headaches, arthritis, rheumatism, or blood pressure fluctuations. It naturally wicks away moisture and is hypoallergenic. Although wool products are generally more expensive and require more delicate care, they are durable and offer a superior level of natural comfort.

Wool varies, so it's worth paying attention to blankets made from merino, cashmere and alpaca wool, as these fibers have unique properties.

Merino is a breed of sheep that lives in very harsh climates, which ensures the exceptional quality of its wool. It is also rich in natural lanolin, which has antiseptic properties.

By contrast, Cashmere is finer, softer, and warmer, making it ideal for sensitive skin and particularly cold conditions.

Alpaca wool is lighter and warmer than sheep wool. Products made from it do not attract dust or dirt because the fiber contains no natural oils.

Caring for wool blankets is more demanding than for cotton or fleece ones, especially if they are thin and soft. That is why wool is often blended with acrylic, cotton, or silk. Many people hesitate to buy wool blankets due to their delicate care requirements, but there’s no need to worry — you just need to follow a few simple rules. Since insects and mites can inhabit wool products, it is recommended to air them regularly and use appropriate protective treatments. Wash at 30°C with a gentle spin cycle. Dry cleaning is also possible.

As you can see, nothing too complicated. And the comfort a blanket provides is truly worth it!

Machine washing a wool blanket is generally not recommended. Both the heat and constant spinning of a washing machine can cause your blanket to shrink, lose its shape, and become fragile. Wool fibres are delicate and react poorly to agitation and temperature changes typically found in machine cycles.

If you must use a machine, choose the most delicate or ‘wool’ cycle at the lowest temperature and avoid spinning wherever possible.

After washing, air dry your blanket flat on a clean surface. With proper care, your wool blanket will stay soft, warm, and last much longer without damage from harsh cleaning methods.

All Moe Ridne blankets come in the same size W 140 cm L 200cm which includes the fringe approximately 5cm.
