KNIT BLANKET

Knitted blankets

As well as being cozy and stylish accessories for any home, knitted blankets are also practical companions in the cool evening hours. They are versatile in their designs and materials and a cuddly, warming companion for cozy moments.

Function & production

Knitted blankets not only bring warmth on cold days, but also create a cozy atmosphere and invite you to snuggle up. They are also an aesthetically pleasing element that can be used to create new decorative effects with color and texture.
Knitted blankets can be used as a throw on the bed, as a cuddly blanket on the sofa or even outdoors at a picnic.

Knitted blankets can be made in different ways, depending on the desired design and material. Traditionally, knitted blankets are made by interweaving threads or yarns with knitting needles, a technique that can be done by machine or by hand. Handmade knitted blankets often offer a higher quality and individuality, as they are made with special care and attention to detail.

Knitted blankets - Material & Design

Depending on the material and type of knitting, each blanket has its own advantages:

• Wool blankets made from merino wool are soft and warm and their high quality creates a feeling of coziness and warmth. Wool is a classic material for knitted blankets, especially merino wool, as it is soft and less scratchy than conventional wool.
• Cotton blankets have a casual look and underline a relaxed look - whether textured, printed or knitted with patterns and fringes. They are usually made from thinner yarn, making them light and more breathable, which makes them ideal for warmer months, where they provide protection and comfort as a thin cover. They are also hypoallergenic and easy to care for and can generally be washed in the washing machine.
• Linen blankets create a casual charm and are predominantly light and cuddly. This is why they are also ideal as bedspreads, as they are easy to handle even in large sizes.
• Acrylic blankets are often used because they are durable, affordable and machine washable. They are soft to the touch and are available in many colors.  The synthetic fiber of acrylic tends to transfer electrons more easily than natural fibers because of its chemical structure and creates the uncomfortable feeling on the skin that we know as static electricity
• Blended fabric blankets are often used in a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers to combine the positive properties of both materials. 
• Cashmere blankets are characterized by their exceptional softness and fineness and bring a special elegance to your home. Pure cashmere blankets feel almost silky and are of a particularly high quality

Design:

Knitted blankets also vary with countless designs and patterns achieved using different knitting techniques:

• Plain: Plain knitted, single-colored knitted blankets look simple and timeless and match any interior style. Depending on the material and thickness of the yarn, they look robust or elegant and can be combined as an accent in a bold color or in a subtle color to complement existing furnishings.
• Patterns: From classic cable knit patterns to diamonds and stripes to modern geometric patterns - single-colored patterns or multi-colored patterns, the variety of knitted patterns is huge.
• Colors: Knitted blankets are available in a wide range of colors, from subtle natural tones to bright, eye-catching colors and can make a decisive impact on the atmosphere of a room by choosing the right color coordination and combination of different colors.
• Details: Additional details such as fringes, tassels or elaborate edge decorations can further enhance the design of a knitted blanket.

Knitted blankets - The right care

The care of knitted blankets depends significantly on the material and the use of the blanket. For this reason, you should consider at the time of purchase whether your blanket will be subject to heavy use or is intended more as a decorative accessory, whether children or pets live in the household or whether the blanket will also be used outdoors. It is therefore essential that you read the care label and follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

• Wool: Wool knitted blankets should generally be washed by hand or in the wool wash cycle of the machine. It is important to dry them flat to avoid deformation. 
• Cotton: Cotton knitted blankets are usually machine washable and can be tumble dried at a low temperature.
• Acrylic: Acrylic blankets are easy to care for and machine washable. They keep their shape well and dry quickly.
• Blended fabrics: The care instructions for blended fabrics should be followed carefully as they can vary depending on the composition.

Knitted blankets are not only useful everyday items, but also beautiful decorative elements that make the home a little more cozy and inviting. With the right care, they retain their shape and beauty for a long time, so you can enjoy them for many years to come.
