How does a crocheted wool blanket hold heat?

107 viewsOther

I am thoroughly confused. I have a crocheted wool blanket. The holes on it are large enough to put objects through, yet it keeps heat better than any of my other blankets or even a duvet. How does this work? Don’t the holes on it allow air back and forth? Wouldn’t heat escape the same way?

I’ve tried searching the sub, and mostly see things about wet wool, I didn’t find anything on crocheted a d apologize if I missed the answer elsewhere.

I am not sure how to tag this… so… other?

Okay, so imagine your crocheted wool blanket like a big warm hug. Even though it has holes, those holes actually help trap warm air close to your body, just like when you wrap yourself up in a cozy blanket. The wool yarn itself is also really good at keeping heat in. So, even though there are holes, the blanket still keeps you warm because it’s like a snug cocoon that traps the warmth inside.
