1. Smell
Top-tier blankets contain wool that adheres to national quality regulations. Utilizing the combustion technique to identify the fibers, one can observe the scent of singed hair, predominantly charcoal residue, and scant charred remnants. Friction does not produce much, if any, static discharge.
2. Look at the appearance
Take a careful look at the blanket's appearance and determine if there are any defects or imperfections. Also, inspect the blanket's overall sheen and texture to ensure that it's naturally soft and inviting. Do the colors complement each other and appear fashionable, or do they seem outdated? To scrutinize the blanket's edges is best as they should be flat, straight, and tidy, with no frayed or uneven edges visible.
3. Look at the fluffiness
To maintain the fluffiness of the suede surface, it is important that the blanket is not hard, but rather has a loose and orderly fluff. The fluff that covers the surface should be neat and easily visible. Underneath, the bottom layer of the pile should be thin and compact to prevent the base fabric from being exposed. If the bottom pile is not properly raised, it can lead to the exposure of the underlying fabric, compromising the blanket's appearance quality and reducing its thermal insulation performance. Therefore, it is crucial to pay special attention to this aspect of the blanket.
