Blankets are shaggy textiles and are a kind of bedding. Blankets are generally divided into pure wool blankets and blended blankets.

【1】Pure wool blankets

Currently, most of the pure blankets on the market are made of wool. The quality can be judged from three aspects: feel, suede fluffy and bottom fleece density.

The feel should be both crisp, soft and elastic, which can be identified by just touching it with your hands.

The fluffy of suede requires that the blanket is not hard, the fluff is loose but not messy, the fluff covering the surface of the blanket is neat and the waves are clear. The bottom layer of the bottom velvet must be thin and dense, so that the bottom cloth must not be exposed. If the bottom velvet is poorly velvet, the bottom will inevitably be exposed. This kind of blanket affects the appearance quality and will reduce the warmth performance. Special attention should be paid.

In addition, let’s see if the gloss of the entire blanket are natural and soft. Is the color beautiful and elegant, and does it feel old? The edges of the blanket are best to look at. As long as the color matching is coordinated, flat, straight and neat, there are no broken or curved sides.

【2】Blended wool blankets

Blended wool blankets are made of pure wool and chemical fiber blended, and have the characteristics of pure wool blankets and acrylic blankets. Their cold resistance, warmth, softness and comfort are generally better than acrylic blankets, and the price is cheaper than pure blankets. The varieties include blended jacquard blankets, blended suede blankets, blended plain blankets, etc.

The high-quality characteristics of blended blankets should be judged from three aspects: appearance, feel and material specific gravity:

Appearance: fewer defects, the actual quality is close to that of pure blankets, the blanket surface is thick, elastic, soft and solid, with straight and uniform sides.

Feeling: It does not shed hair when grasping with your hands, and it does not become solid after pressing, and it is elastic.

Raw material specific gravity: The hair content meets national quality standards. When used to identify it by combustion, there is a smell of hair burning, and the ash is mostly charcoal ash, and there are very few charcoal objects. During friction, there is little or no static electricity.
