Why Wool? In addition to it’s warmth and durability, there are many unique and important characteristics that set Wool apart from other fibers. Wool is inherently flame retardant, and it won’t melt. Unlike other fibers that are used for bedding, wool can be made so that it will never burn. Wool helps to regulate body temperature. Its thermostatic properties protect the body from both cold and heat.
Wool is hygroscopic. Wool is able to absorb humidity deep within the fiber, a feature that helps to regulate and absorb moisture on the skin’s surface. Wool is a natural insulator. Its natural crimp and elasticity gives woolen bedding the ability to “store” air and create a perfect insulation layer which helps the body maintain its ideal temperature.
Wool contributes to good health. It is the only fiber that is able to neutralize many kinds of acids and chemical bases, a feature which prevents “nightly reintoxication,” a common source of germs and sleeplessness. Wool contributes to a more restful sleep. Recent studies indicate that the incidence of irregular heart rate and disturbed sleep patterns increases when both the humidity and the temperature are consistently higher. Wool’s natural ability to absorb and transmit water vapor is of unique importance in maintaining Thermophysiological Comfort, a state in which the individual is free from thermal strain.
The Humanitarian Blanket provides the necessary requirements for emergency and humanitarian relief situations. Being flame retardant and whip stitched on 4 sides for lasting durability, this 30% wool/70% synthetic heather gray blanket weighs approximately 2.5 lbs. and measures 62” x 80”. Colors and shades will vary due to manufacturer process. Used by Red Cross and relief organizations worldwide.
Blankets should be laundered prior to use to remove residual odor caused by the manufacturing process. We recommend adding clothes softeners to reduce lint.
