History and Description

Merino sheep live mainly in Australia. Now it is from there that the largest amount of wool and products is exported. In the 13th century, the Spaniards bred the breed, and for the next 5 centuries, the removal of sheep and products was punishable by death.

In the 18th century, several sheep were transported to different countries, including Australia. Now most of the wool, products, and blankets from Australia are exported. In other countries, their number is insignificant.

Merino is a fine-fleeced breed of sheep, which is raised specifically for wool. They differ from meat breeds in size. Merino wool is thin, but dense and durable.

With filler, quilted

The most common type of sheep’s blankets. In their production, beaten sheep wool is placed in a textile cover: cotton, satin or polycotton. Models with closed wool are stitched through - stitched to evenly distribute and securely fasten the filler in the product. These blankets are very warm and great for the cold season.

Quilted sheep blankets according to the type of stitching are divided into:

1. Carostep. Stitching in such models is made in the form of a figured pattern. Blankets have an elegant and decorative look and are often used as a bedspread, without a duvet cover. Filler can be distributed less efficiently if the pattern is large. This can lead to its uneven distribution. With many years of operation, the holes from the lines can increase and the filler becomes visible. This will affect the appearance of the product.
2. Cassette The best kind of covered quilts made of sheep wool. Sewing on them is performed by cassettes - uniform squares. It reliably fixes the evenly distributed filler inside the cover over the entire area of ​​the product. This model is easier to clean and wash, and it is the most durable. The disadvantages of this type include a high price compared to the first option.

Customer reviews

There are a lot of reviews from the buyers of sheepskin blankets on the network, which indicates the popularity of this product among consumers.

Many people say that the sheep’s blanket is warm, light, not hot and cold underneath, but just comfortable. An important point for the consumer is an affordable price.

How to choose a fleece blanket

The right choice depends on the purpose and future operation. It takes into account the size of the product, which correlates with the dimensions of the berth, as well as the growth of the one who will sleep under it.

Three common sizes of blankets for adults, for which it is easy to choose the right duvet cover:

• one and a half -140x205 cm, as a rule, is designed for one person. In the one and a half line, there are also sizes 150x200 and 160x210 cm,
• double - with classic parameters 175x205 cm and possible options: 170x200 cm, 180x210 cm, suitable for couples,
• large double quilt, the so-called Euro-standard - 200x220 cm. Spacious and comfortable, suitable for tall couples.

The density of the model is selected taking into account the season and place of residence. Lightweight summer models have a density of about 100 g / m 2. All-season 200-300 g / m 2. For a cold season and a cool room, products with a density of 400 g / m 2 are suitable. These data must be indicated on the model’s original packaging.

In this case, the following product features must be considered:

• weight. If the blanket of sheep’s wool is very light and weightless, most likely it is made with the addition of synthetic fillers,
• quality finishes (stitches). From the high-quality quilted new product, the fibers of the wool do not come out, and from the open - the hairs do not sprinkle,
• the smell of a well-crafted sheepskin is the natural smell of wool, which will disappear in two to three weeks. If the new product has a pronounced smell of synthetics, it is better to refuse the purchase.

A thorough visual inspection is also important:

1. In closed copies, the cover fabric should be uniformly colored, smooth and even. The seams are even, uniformly dense, without sticking threads and gaps.
2. The high-quality model is soft, supple and smooth to the touch. She also has no internal lumps and bumps.

Which blanket is better from sheep or camel hair

Everything will depend on the preferences of the consumer and the purpose of the purchased product. The comparative characteristics of the blankets from these types of wool will help to understand what is better and make the final choice:

Camel hair is difficult to dye, so the products are presented in a modest color scheme.

Having carefully studied all the advantages and disadvantages of sheep’s blankets, you can make a pleasant and useful purchase to improve the quality of sleep. With proper care, careful operation and storage, the selected model will serve the owner for many years.
