The material from which the blanket is made will determine how well your body heat is retained within the blanket and whether it will keep you warm when the weather turns cold. There are two materials suitable for blankets, Fleece, and wool, let's see the difference below.

Fleece

Fleece is a synthetic material that reflects the look and feel of wool. In this way, people with allergies to wool and those with sensitive skin can enjoy the best quality of wool without worry. It's also soft and has moisture-wicking properties, which means it wicks moisture away from your body and dries quickly. This allows you to maintain a comfortable temperature without being too cold or too hot.

However, there are some differences between wool and wool. For one thing, it could be a bit lighter, and it's not naturally fire-resistant or anti-bacterial. However, it dries faster than wool and doesn't shrink when thrown in the washer and dryer.

Wool is a classic material for blankets. It's thick and heavy without being too stuffy, making it a versatile option for cold winter nights. You also don't have to worry about getting wet from sweat thanks to its moisture-wicking properties. Plus, wool is naturally fire-resistant, so you can snuggle by a campfire or fireplace for an added layer of security.

Although wool has several advantages, there are some disadvantages to keep in mind:

Coarse: Wool is generally not as soft as other blanket materials.

Difficult to dry: Its natural waterproof properties make it difficult to dry.

Derived from sheep: Because it is an animal by-product, some people may have skin that is too sensitive to wool, which often results in itchy skin and a contact rash.

Requires specialized care: Wool is a delicate material that requires specialized care. If not properly cared for, it may shrink when washed.

Besides wool, merino wool is another option. While Merino wool is still harvested from sheep, Merino sheep produce fibers that are finer, less itchy, and softer. Blankets made from merino wool are usually more expensive than traditional wool blankets.
