Hvid is a Belgian brand with a Danish name: hvid means white. The collection includes wool booties, hats, clothing, blankets and comforters. Designer Caroline Camerlynck works with knitwear made in Belgium and finished by hand. The main differences between products are the knit structure, thickness and how you use them.
Many Hvid items are made from extra-fine Italian merino wool. The fine fibre makes the knit supple and soft. Wool traps air and can absorb and release moisture. These are properties of the material; how warm a garment or blanket feels also depends on its thickness and the other layers used with it.
The product information specifies mulesing-free and Oeko-Tex-certified wool. Check the exact type of wool as well. The larger Gaston blanket, for example, uses merino lambswool rather than the extra-fine merino wool found in many other items.
An openwork pattern creates a different texture from a thick rib knit. Even when two blankets have the same dimensions, they can feel different. Bibi has an openwork pattern, while Ivy has a thicker ribbed texture. Stretch and finishing also matter in clothing: the Harvey slipover, for example, has an elastic neckline that stretches during dressing.
For booties and clothing, compare the measurements with the length and fit you need. For a blanket, consider both its dimensions and knit structure. A model name alone says little about thickness. The Cocoon needs separate consideration: Hvid describes it for supervised use, not as an overnight sleeping bag.
Wool items do not need washing after every use. Airing can be enough for ordinary everyday odours. When washing is necessary, use wool detergent and follow the individual item’s label. Hvid stresses that a delicate cycle is not the same as a wool cycle. Avoid vigorous wringing and dry knitwear flat to help it retain its shape.
No. Many items use extra-fine merino wool. Gaston uses merino lambswool. Knit structures and thickness also differ between products.
Bibi has an openwork pattern; Ivy has a thicker ribbed texture. Both are offered in 70 × 95 cm, but the knit makes them feel different.
No. The Cocoon is a wool wrap for supervised use. It is not intended as an overnight sleeping bag.
Usually not. Start with airing and spot clean a mark if necessary. Always follow the individual care label when washing.
