Detailed Introduction Of Fleece Blankets
With all the different options of blankets these days there is one for every need. Whether you need a blanket to keep you warm at night or to keep you clean and dry at a sporting event there is one out there.
The term fleece often causes confusion, because it is sometimes used to describe part of the wool of sheep. Fleece in the context of a fleece blanket refers to a specific polyester fabric with no wool content. There is a large variety of fleece but the most well known is polar fleece.
To make fleece fabric first you take the polyester yarn and twist it tightly. Then the fabric is brushed with a rough wire to tighten it and raise the surface. The fabric is then sheared to even out the surface. Almost all fleece is made as a non-pill. Non-pill fleece does not get the little balls after being washed a few times and the texture is nicer.
Fleece blankets come in a wide variety textures. The top may be smooth, almost velvet like, while the bottom may be similar to felt. There are three main weight categories of fleece which can be used for a fleece blanket, depending on how warm of a blanket is desired.
Micro fleeces are the lightest weight blankets. They are designed to be used under a heavier blanket for maximum warmth. They will not keep you very warm by themselves. The next category is hundred weight. These blankets are similar to sweatshirt material in their feel and warmth factor. The most commonly used weight is medium weight. This is what most jackets, vests and blankets are made of. This weight will keep you warm in cold conditions.
fleece blankets are so popular because they are soft, comfortable, retains heat and lightweight. They can be easily carried on a trip or stored away in a closet. While the fleece throw is not the most technologically advanced product its price cannot be beat.
Use blankets to help decorate or add a splash of color to a room. Use them in your car to keep the upholstery clean. Use them for your pets. These are just a few ideas of how to use a blanket.
