Organic Blankets: Benefits Of Using Natural Cotton And Wool Blankets

Organic Blankets: Benefits Of Using Natural Cotton And Wool Blankets

 

Nowadays many people realize unquestionable environmental and health benefits of going green and buying certified organic products, such as organic foods, personal care items, clothes, children's products and home furnishings (sheets, bedding, blankets, pillows, towels, bathrobes, tablecloths, napkins) is not an exception.

Why organic bedding? The answer is simple. We spend a third of our life sleeping and our skin is the largest human organ. That's why it's very important to use all natural bedding, especially organic blankets. Why organic blankets? All natural organic cotton or organic wool blankets are manufactured using certified organic wool or cotton which are chemical, resin and pesticide free.

Our Certified Organic Cotton Blankets are made from the cotton which is grown and manufactured in the USA meet special requirements which are regulated by National Organic Program from USDA covering how the cotton is grown.

It's a fact that cotton covers 2.5% of the world's cultivated land and conventional cotton uses approximately 25% of the word's insecticides. What's why organic cotton blankets are so beneficial for all people especially for those who suffers from allergies and experiences chemical sensitivities. All natural organic cotton blankets are:

eco friendly

hypoallergenic

completely breathable

chemical free

resin free

pesticide free

Our organic cotton blankets are certified organic by the Texas Department of Agriculture where it is grown. All colored blankets has been colored with eco dyes. White cotton blankets has been whitened with peroxide, not chlorine. Blanket stitching has been done with viscose thread which is known to be stronger than cotton one.

 

Organic Merino Wool Blankets are made in the USA from premium 100% Organic Merino Wool from Australia. These blankets keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. Wool has the ability to breathe with the skin and absorb excess moisture naturally without feeling wet to the touch, then releases all wetnesses into the air to provide you with a pleasant, healthy sleep. They are hypoallergenic, natural, untreated, soft and supportive and good for your health. They can be machine washed on delicate and hang dry. Attractive whip stitched edges in the same organic wool.

Organic wool is wool which is produced in accordance with federal standards for organic livestock production.

Federal requirements for organic livestock production include:

•Livestock feed and forage used from the last third of gestation must be certified organic;

•Use of synthetic hormones and genetic engineering is prohibited;

•Use of synthetic pesticides (internal, external, and on pastures) is prohibited, and

•Producers must encourage livestock health through good cultural and management practices. (OTA)

One of the most important characteristics of the natural wool blanket is the ability to insulate and retain air without blocking air circulation. This process can be easily explained. Wool's crimp naturally creates a textile volume which is help to retain heat and at the same time wool textile is completely breathable. This unique ability of wool to adjust the air temperature has been known many centuries ago.

Another distinctive characteristic of organic wool blanket is ability to absorb excess moisture, then gradually releases it into the air. Wool is able to absorb approximately 1/3 of it's own weight.

Wool blanket is also naturally static electricity resistant. This feature is conditioned by wool's ability to absorb moisture and then this moisture conducts static electricity.

Wool is known to be naturally flame retardant. Unlike most synthetic fiber, wool has low rate of flame spread and low heat of combustion. It means that wool blankets provide a high safety environment.

Choose all natural blankets – they make it easier for skin to breathe, thus enhancing the detoxification that naturally occurs during sleep.

A Peek Into The History Of Horse Blankets

A Peek Into The History Of Horse Blankets

Horse blankets have been used at ceremonies and other special occasions.  The intention was actual use under a saddle, often with an added pad.  The blanket also served to cover the pad for a better look for riding or for show.  The blanket could be used when riding with no saddle or pad, serving as a barrier between the person and the horse.

Native American Indians wove their own horse blankets and still make them today.  Blankets were traded for other items, as well.

The Navajo blankets are an especially popular decorative horse blanket.  Found with bright inks or earth tones, usually with fringed ends.  They were also used as rugs by the early Indians, woven smaller for that use or for decoration on top of the saddle.

The most popular horse blankets were the double blankets, which were used by folding in half before placing on the horse.
Although it wasn't their only design, the Navajo woven horse blankets can be easily recognized by the diamond patterns woven into them.  An authentic Navajo horse blanket is to be admired for its simple, artistic quality.  It should also be a reason to respect the person who put his or her time and effort into its creation.

The double saddle blankets were woven with no art in the centers.  These would be covered by the saddles, making the extra effort impractical as they could be out-of-sight when used by the rider.

The horse blanket could be hung on a wall in a log cabin and bring out a surreal sense of its natural beauty.  Photographs and posters or wall paintings of these horse blankets could be added to the cabin to create a western theme.  Search for books bout the Navajo horse blankets, weaving, and inks made by the Navajo indians to cultivate knowledge and respect for the weavers and these beautiful works of art.  It will take the minds of your visitors back in time and help them appreciate the work that went into making these wonderful results.

What constitutes a fine piece of art is the beauty in the eye of the beholder.  The horse blankets are just as lovely when they have been used and have become worn as they were when they were new.  The usage seems to add character and may create some interesting stories from the riders.  The horse blankets have the ability to stimulate the three senses of sight, touch, and smell (which could be good or bad, depending on the smell it brings!).

The horse blankets that were woven could be washed in cold water with little or no detergent and hung to dry.  Although in the early western days, they were most likely wrung out in a nearby creek or river and laid on a rock to dry.  Now there are horse blankets made of other fabrics which most likely are better at resisting stains and other such improvements modernization brings.

Horse blankets have value especially to anyone interested in Western culture.

How To Pick The Right Saddle Blanket Seat Covers

How To Pick The Right Saddle Blanket Seat Covers

Isn't it ironic that saddle blanket seat covers are probably the things most overlooked in a person's truck. We forget too easily how the seats affect the entire look of the truck. They are an integral part of any truck. They keep your seats safe from harmful elements and protect them from dirt. Additionally, a proper seat cover will maintain your seat's orginal shape.

There are numerous designed saddle blanket seat covers available on the market. Many are made with different fabrics such as silk and cotton so as not to irritate the skin. For instance, a baby seat cover provides some protection to the infant while the truck is travelling. Additionally you can maintain cleanliness by detaching and washing it in your washing machine at home.

There are numerous materials used for seat covers:

Poly-cotton is the most common fabric used to achieve a soft, comfortable touch. It is soft to the touch, and provides endless protection for your seats.

Sheepskin is the second-most commonly used material for seat covers. Sheepskin acts like a thermostat: it maintains the warm when it's cold, and the cool when it's hot.

UV Protected Sheets are another popular choice of material for making velour seat covers. Like saddle blanket seat covers made with poly-cotton, they are very soft to the touch. Seat covers of this kind will also prevent your seats from wearing out.

Several different kinds of seat covers are available. The first type is called a Universal auto seat cover. These types of covers are a universal fit so they fit nearly every kind of truck seat, including high-back bucket seats and low-back seats.

The other type of seat cover is custom made. These are made specifically for a vehicle's make, model and year. They are made to the specific dimensions of each truck seat. Every detail of the truck seat is pondered over when creating creating custom Because the specific dimensions of your truck are tailored for, the fitting is considered perfect.

Horse Tack-Purchasing A Western Saddle Blanket

Horse Tack-Purchasing A Western Saddle Blanket

At first it can seems like such a simple task, all you have to do is open that glossy horse supply and tack catalog that is laying on the table and purchase a new Western saddle pad. No problem.

Just a few short seconds after opening the catalog you realize exactly how big a project you are about to undertake. Instead of opening the catalog and finding the one or two saddle pads you expected you find your self facing page after page after page of saddle pads. Each saddle pad has its own cut, material type, and function. The magazine offers a brief blurb on each pad but nothing that is really helpful. The only thing that the blankets seem to have in common is the price...expensive.

The first thing you need to consider is your budget. The typical horse person operates on a tight budget. Every day they are confronted with a flood of bills that never seems to stop, feed bills, veterinarian bills, board bills, lesson bills, and miscellaneous bills. It is tempting to purchase the cheapest saddle blanket the catalogue sells. Before you place that order you should stop and think. When it comes to tack cheaper is typically not better. Cheap saddle blankets tend to be so thin that they offer next to no cushioning, the flimsy material often bunches and can cause saddle sores if the owner is negligent when saddling. Cheap blankets can slide while the owner is riding (this is especially true if your horse is as round as a barrel). The advantage to cheap saddle blankets is that they are typically washing machine cleanable, but the downside is that they seldom last for more then a few cleanings. The one time I recommend buying a really cheap Western saddle pad is when you are first saddling a young horse. If cost is a major issue consider looking in the clearance sections of the catalogs and tack stores. I've found that I typically find the best deals on saddle blankets when I'm not looking for one.

The second thing you need to take into consideration when you are looking for a Western saddle blanket is what type of saddle do you have. Not all Western saddles are designed the same, there are saddles cut to fit specific breeds  (Arabians and Quarter Horses typically use a different saddle design), saddles that are designed for different purposes (a barrel racing saddle looks completely different from a saddle that a roper will be riding in). The important thing to remember is that the when the saddle pad is on, no part of the underside of the saddle should be touching the horses back.

It is important to consider your horses body type when you are purchasing a saddle blanket. If you own a horse whose mid section resembles a barrel and their withers are nothing more then a distant memory (this is the typical body type of ponies) you will want to look for a saddle pad that is made of material that is designed not to slip and slide all over the place. If you are a rider that typically leans heavily on one side of your saddle you will also want to consider a non-slip saddle blanket. If your horse has prominent withers you will want to look for a saddle blanket that will add extra protection and padding in the front. A swaybacked horse requires a saddle pad that will offer extra support everywhere, you'll also want to look for a saddle pad that is thick enough you saddle will sit above the horses withers and hips.

Western saddle pads are not easy to clean. They are typically to stiff and cumbersome to fit in a washing machine and if you are able to cram them into your washing machine you will quickly learn that it can take several days before they are dry. Once a Western saddle pad has been washed it typically doesn't look the same again. Most Western riders try to keep their saddle pads clean by placing a cheap Navajo rug under the think fluffy Western Blanket.

Army Wool Blankets and Military Surplus

Army surplus shops are a great place to find a army wool blanket

Very few people would automatically think of going to an army surplus store to buy camping gear, furniture or tools but this is probably the best place to shop especially if you are working with a tight budget. Admittedly, this kind of store can be a bit difficult to find. Owners hardly set up shop in malls or other popular hang-out places. But if you know where to find government surplus stores, then you just might be in for a great shopping spree.

The question that many people would like to ask is: what exactly can you buy from a military surplus store? The answer is quite simple: almost any object or tool that the army issues to its personnel can be availed of it in the said store. This might include military-standard furniture, vehicles and even weaponry. Smaller items might include: clothes, first aid kits and MRE or meal-ready-to-eat packets.

Because these items are considered surplus, prices are usually 10%to 75% less expensive as compared to its conventional counterparts that you will find in mall stores or with online merchants. Although the choices are somewhat limited, these might still suit whatever needs you have at the moment.

The sale of some of the larger and more dangerous items like vehicles and weaponry are not usually advertised in the local papers. But if you want to buy these, it is a good idea to establish regular contacts with a couple of military bases (e.g. National Guard) in your area and other organizations (third-party licensed contractors) that specialize in selling army items that needs to be liquidated, including scrap metal and recyclables. You might also want to sign up for regular alerts from government and online merchants so that you can get to sales or auctions that are held infrequently in certain army bases or camps.

However, if you are setting your sights on smaller and innocuous items, you can check out online stores and brick-and-mortar businesses that sell military surplus items. Smaller items that you can easily buy in an army surplus store include:

1. Protective gear and military standard clothes. You can buy gas masks, jackets, shoes and even an entire army-issued uniform.

2. Hunting or camping gear. These are actually the best selling items in the aforementioned stores. You can easily buy quality but discounted camp stoves, tents, duffel bags, wool blankets, etc.

3. Furniture. Army issued cots and a few tables and chairs are often times put up for sale too. This list might also include empty ammunition cases.

4. Personal first aid kits. These include: alcohol swabs, band aids, butterfly finger dressings, mini flashlight, pressure dressings, rolled gauze bandages, scissors, space blankets, tensor bandages, and triangular bandages. There are also smaller and more compact first aid kits available.

5. Other items include: MRE packets and flags.

The consider factors when you buy blankets

The consider factors when you buy blankets

1)      Raw Material:

2)      High quality pure wool blankets which apart from custom blankets are usually made of fine, long and even fibers with soft and tender touch. Materials of other inferior blankets are often mixed with low-quality degradation, such as polypropylene, or acrylic fibers, gross short and root thickness uneven.

 

Appearance:

Clear and beautiful pure wool blankets, and other gppd quality blankets, such as plush blankets are texture luster, color uniformity, pattern structured, following a soft plush, down along the same; and low-grade blankets are dark color, pattern fuzzy, soft light, easy to stick dirts.

 

3)      Foot Feeling:

The foot feeling of high-quality pure wool blankets are comfortable, non-stick, does not slip, and good elasticity, very quickly after stepping restitution. Inferior blankets have little elasticity and often  very slow recovery from stepping, and accompanied by hard material sense.

Craftsmanship:
Exquisite quality pure wool blanket and other good blankets always show surface straight lines, have rules. Low-grade blanket is rough at work, missed the bottom line and exposed more. They weigh lighter due to lower density of texture.

 

When you are out for camping, take a fleece throw to prevent cold air, it is a good method for warmth. When you are sleeping in the car, you can use it for comfort.

 

When it is dirty, you can wash it by a washing machine, not need to wash by hand. Maybe it is a consider factor for those work busy people.

 

When you heard it can do machine wash, it is a good news.

Blankets – What To Buy?

Blankets - What To Buy?

When you're shopping for blankets, you want to buy the right one. If you do not buy the right one, even the most expensive ones won't ensure comfort. Here are some insights on various kinds.

Cotton Blankets

They are common. They are popular because of their versatility in appearance, styling or color. They're outstanding as a decent layering piece. Thus they enhance your bed and/or day to day use. Some people are hot-blooded. So these are good for winter nights. Cost varies depending on styling, type, quality of construction and brands. Fortunately, you can always get styles matching with your affordability. They are easy to maintain too.

Down Blankets

They offer durability, comfort and luxurious beauty. Get them if you love snuggling under the blanket. They're cozy, a bit cool to touch - still warm beneath. So you stay comfortable in your sleep. And they're good if you run a bit warm-blooded.

Electric Blankets

They get you warmed up to your desired temperature. You stay cozy and well comforted all through the night. If you're new to the idea of electric blanket, you would be fairly pleased the range of brands offering wire-free designs powered by conductive tape. Such tape offers fully even heating. They also offer lightweight elegance.

For a cheaper alternative, you can go for the conventional versions. They cost almost the same as the modern versions. Though they run one obsolete electric heating technology, but still offer great softness along with lightweight warmth. If you want cheaper deals, you can just try any of those end-of-season sales to make sure your bed stays toasty as well as luxurious.

Fleece Blankets

They're ultra-soft and give you plush feeling of fleece. They reason they are so popular is that they remain wonderfully warm throughout the winter season. Usually, they're small fry and simple to maintain. That is because they're made of polyester along with other synthetic kind of fibers.

Wool Blankets

They offer sheer durability along with nice warmth. You should feel happy owning your wool blanket! But they're not for people who're allergic to wool. For them, a better choice is a woolen blanket covered with cotton.

You can use lightweight weaves year round. A woolen blanket often touches down a broad selection of nice looking plaids, as well as colorful solids enhancing the dcor. Since wool is durable, you should enjoy its long life.
