Taking Care Of Your Thula Tula Blanket Is Easy

Cleaning and caring for your blankets

Grubby little fingers are everywhere :)

We get it! You want your blanket to stay awesome all the time, but then life (and little fingers) get in the way. Well, your Thula Tula blanket is up to the task. First off, your blankets is made from the very finest wool and fibers. Our factory in South Africa has been doing this for 67 years, they know how to make an exceptional blanket that repels dirt and liquid. For normal use, we recommend only washing once a year. When it's wash time here are a few tips to get you on your way.

Machine Washing

We recommend Hand Wash or dry cleaning for all wool-based blankets if you have the time. However, who has the time these days? If you are going to machine wash your wool blanket, follow the tips below. For spills, spot clean it with a warm, wet cloth.

shop all

Cold Wash

For all wool-based blankets, use a cold wash and rinse. Wash separately or with similar colors

Detergent

Use a very mild wool-specific detergent. Do not use bleach; We recommend using Laundress

Hang Dry

Line, Hang dry, or lay flat. We do not recommend tumble dry as the heat will shrink and damage your blanket

No ironing

Do not iron! It will burn the fibers of your blanket. Especially the Basotho Blanket. With the proper care will be in your family for generations

Hand Wash The African Way

Salt is a great stain remover and natural softener (unlike washing powder and detergents) for blankets and keeps the colors bright. It is also environmentally friendly! It is perfect for caring for your Basotho blanket.

SHOP ALL

Cold water

Fill a bath tub with cold water to the quarter mark

Salt

Pour a cup of course salt into the water.

Submerge

Submerge your blanket into the water and allow it to soak for at least 30 minutes.

Wash and rinse

Wash it with your hands then drain out all the water. Pour enough cold water to almost cover the blanket to rinse. Gently squeeze out water and hang to dry

Beautiful gift

My friend was ecstatic about it. Thanks!!

Love this throw

I love the Maasai Shuka throw so much. It’s very soft and comfortable and the colors are vibrant. The perfect touch in any room.

Beautiful blanket!

Love this blanket. Unexpected color combo of mink/cream is so modern. Most mud cloth I have seen is black and white. I have it on my king size bed and it fits nicely although there is not much overhang. Makes it easier to make the bed.

Culture, Style and Comfort

I LOVE my Congo Kuba Throw. It's beautiful, super comfortable and cozy, and knowing the story of the throw makes me love it even more. It's always better to make a difference while you buy!

Love this throw!!!

This throw is so beautiful. I have it in the end of my bed and it looks amazing. Fits right in with my decor.

Gorgeous throw blanket

So happy with my new blanket. It is soft and cozy While also being chic and stylish!

Beautiful...

I received my Congo Kuba blanket a few days ago and I just love it! The fabric is thick and so soft. It's of excellent quality and well made in terms of stitching and the Kuba pattern. The ordering and shipping process was smooth and timely. I will definitely buy from Thula Tula again. I also love that they are helping the artists of Africa.

Beautiful, High Quality and Craftmanship

I chose the Xhosa Stripe pattern because I wanted something that was going to pop and catch my eye, and work well with my cottage-farmhouse style.   I could not be more pleased with the high quality and craftsmanship.

Beautiful blanket

Sent as a birthday gift and the recipient loved it. The Thula folks were super helpful and responsive with special shipping requests

Arrie

The throw is beautiful, love the color; I accidentally ordered 2 and was going to return 1 but after my husband and I saw the throw; we decided to keep both. I thought I was ordering this one plus a black and white one. I am really enjoying this throw and it looks great in my room.

Beautifully made and quality materials

This blanket is so soft and warm-handcrafted with such care & detail. I couldn’t be happier with with the quality of this product!

African Giraffe Throw and Blanket

Different fabric

Just can't hold a candle to my Mud Cloth blanket that I LOVE!

Hi Susan - I love the Mali Mud Cloth blanket as well. It's my favorite blanket we have!
The Mud Cloth Throw from this review, is priced much lower than the blanket due to the different materials and much smaller size.

SOFTNESS

The Kuba Cloth Throw is the softest. The only throw that I have that I can completely wrap myself in.

Blanket

Beautiful & well made!! My favorite by far!! So happy & proud of the Basotho Heritage Blanket!! I appreciate learning about the rich history!

Best throw

I just got the Mudcloth throw yesterday and it was very warm and a very good blanket
