Klippan Wool Blankets and Throws

What is the difference between a blanket and a throw?

wool blanket is stronger, heavier and more compact in its structure. A blanket is woven with double layers, so the warp is never prominent but is hidden by the wefts. When weaving blankets, a technique called jacquard can be used, then patterns with several colors can be created and the effect becomes mirrored when the blanket is turned over.

wool throw is airier and not as tightly woven as a blanket. A throw has a visible warp and often fringes reminiscent of the plaid weavings originating in Scotland where it was often worn as a larger shawl.
