Before you put loads of conditioner on your blankets.... Isnt it better for warmth to have a broader and rougher fibre in the wool? I suspect that any attempt to flatten the fibres to make them less itchy will also reduce the insulating effect.
I' m no scientist but I suspect that there are some on here who might have something to add.
I was very lucky a couple of years ago, I was helping my girlfriend clean out her dad's garage when we discovered a very old blanket made bythe people from Swanndri. Its mega and a bit scratchy but since I sleep in LJ's when we hammock here it's not been a problem.

I'll send you a few litres of my yellow stale urine if you need it Matt! I'm sure other members will oblige aswell!
Would this fall under the catagory of a group buy???
Yeah, yeah, you're all too kind
To Big Geordie,
I probably won't both anyway. My kit is packed away and I will just go rough next time I use it and see how it goes

Matt, I've made a capote out of army blankets. Spam and some of the others saw it at the Delamere meet. I'll be bringing it to Middlewood, so you can have a look.
Here you go mate.

Apparently, the Swiss blanket with its Swiss cross is more or less a hand made item and is classed as a collectable - there are companies that make desirable bags using the blanket and its swiss logo.
