Why should you use a blanket?

• A blanket insulates your bed. It keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

• Use a layer of two blankets in the winter - a lightweight thermal weave under a more conventional weave blanket. The result is a combination of maximum warmth with a minimum weight for comfort during colder months.

• Use a light weight blanket in the summer. The result is lightweight, breathable comfort during warm summer nights.
   

What factors determine the price and quality of a blanket?

• Construction: Blankets may be woven in a conventional or thermal weave, or non - woven.

• Type of fiber: Blankets are either woven from natural fibers like cotton or wool; or synthetic fibers such as acrylic and nylon.

What are the features of conventional woven blankets?

• Tightly woven for durability.

• Able to insulate by trapping warm air beneath the blanket against the sleeper’s body.

• Heavier for winter - weight warmth.

• Soft and comfortable with smooth texture.
   

What are the features of a thermal woven blanket?

• Lightweight for minimal warmth.

• Loosely woven, allowing air to circulate and the blanket to "breathe".

• Insulators, keeping warm air close to the body when a conventional blanket is used over it.
   

What are the qualities of natural fibers?

• Durable and long - lasting.

• Excellent absorbers of moisture, will not become clammy from perspiration.

• Natural Insulators .

• Breathable and adjust to different temperatures. Comfortable for year - round use.
   

Why Wool?

What are the advantages of wool blankets?

• Wool blankets are durable and long lasting. Wool fiber is unsurpassed in flexible strength. Its resilience and elasticity allows wool blankets to keep their softness and shape for a lifetime of use.

• Wool blankets are absorbent and healthy. Wool fibers naturally draw moisture away from the body, keeping you dry when sleeping.

• Wool blankets provide comfortable warmth. Wool fibers are fluffy with tiny air pockets. Their loftiness and cushiony insulation keep body heat in and cold out for years of lightweight comfort.

• Wool blankets are flame-resistant. Wools’ natural moisture content makes it non- combustible. A 100% wool blanket will not ignite into flames; an excellent safety precaution.
