BACKSTORY: A blanket is a piece of soft cloth large enough either to cover or to enfold a great portion of the user’s body, usually when they go to sleep or otherwise at rest, thereby trapping radiant bodily heat that otherwise would be lost through convection, and so keeping the body warm. Many children and some adults use their blankets as a comfort object. It can be used to sooth someone.

The term arose from the generalization of a specific fabric called Blanket fabric, a heavily napped woolen weave pioneered by Thomas Blanket (Blanquette), a Flemish weaver who lived in Bristol, England, in the 14th century.^[1]^[2] Earlier usage of the term is possible through its derivation from the French word for white, blanc.^[3]^[4]

Many types of blanket material, such as wool, are used because they are thicker and have more substantial fabric to them, but cotton can also be used for light blankets. Wool blankets are warmer and also relatively slow to burn compared to cotton. The most common types of blankets are woven acrylic, knitted polyester, mink, cotton, fleece and wool. Blankets also come with exotic crafting and exotic material such as crocheted afghan or a silk covering. The term blanket is often interchanged with comforter, quilt, and duvet, as they all have similar uses. (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
