Wool Sourcing
Where is your wool from?
We buy our wool from certified Climate Beneficial ranches in California.
Are the Sheep Killed?
No. After they are shorn, they go back to graze and frolic with their flock only to return to the "barber" when their fleece is ready to be shorn again.
What type of wool is used At Frankenmuth Woolen Mill?
Certified Climate Beneficial Wool.
Why is wool so special?
Wool is the most complex and versatile of all textile fibers. It is naturally flame resistant and regulates your body temperature to keep you comfortable in almost any climate.
Where does your wool come from?
Ranches in California.
Are the sheep raised humanely?
Yes. They are well cared for, which allows for a long life which in turn means more wool for the ranchers to clip and sell.
Chemicals
Are there chemicals in any of your products?
No.
Does the fabric have any type of sizing or chemical finish on it?
No. Our fabric is 100% Certified All Natural Unbleached cotton percale.
Is your wool carbonized, chlorinated, or bleached?
No. Our wool is cleaned and processed with no chemicals.
Do your raw materials have certifications?
Our cotton is certified organic and our wool is certified Climate Beneficial.
Allergies
What about dust mites?
Wool naturally repels dust mites.
I may have a wool allergy, is your wool different in any way?
Most medical experts say that true wool allergies are rare and in most cases people actually react to the lanolin found in wool.
We take great care to remove as much if not all lanolin out in our washing process. In addition our bedding is covered in organic cotton muslin which keeps you from lying directly on the wool.
I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities; what precautions do you take to ensure the products are pure and chemical-free?
We use no chemicals in the washing, processing and preparing of the wool in our bedding.
Does the fabric have any type of chemical finish on it?
No. Our fabric is 100% Certified Organic unbleached cotton percale.

Care & Repair
How do I clean my comforter or mattress topper?
You have three good options for cleaning your wool bedding.
1. If your bedding is not soiled we recommend letting Mother Nature do the work for you. It's simple: Just put items that need freshening outside on a dry, sunny day. Give each item a good shake and hang it on a clothesline. Flip the bedding after a couple of hours to air out all sides, and bring them inside before the evening dew starts to settle. Sun will naturally deodorize, bleach, disinfect, and revitalize your bedding.
2. If you have stains or want more of a deep cleaning we recommend that you take advantage of our 129 plus years of knowledge in caring for wool bedding. Simply put your name, address, email & phone number on paper and place it with your comforter in a box. Write launder on the outside of the box and send the box to…
Frankenmuth Woolen Mill
C/O Launder Department
570 S. Main Street
Frankenmuth, MI 48734
We will professional hand clean and dry your comforter and return it to you in a new, breathable storage bag, normally within 2 to 4 weeks.
3. If you are more of a DIY person follow these steps to do your own cleaning.
- Fill Bathtub (or laundry tub) with warm water & detergent.
- Gently place your comforter in tub and SOAK ONLY.
- Keep temperature even for wash and rinse.
- Treat spot with color safe spot removers.
- Does not twist, wring, or agitate.
- Fabric softeners may be added to rinse water.
- Drain water out- this should be done by gently pressing on the comforter/mattress topper.
Never use a washer or dryer; this includes the hand wash cycle. Remember that any agitation and or even a mild temperature change will shrink your wool comforter.
Do not dry clean.
