Why does wool blanket feel so much colder than a generic fleece blanket?

Question

I have always heard and read about how warm wool blankets are, but when I bought a brand name blanket to use at home, I found that I have never slept colder under any other type of bedding in my life. Is there something wrong with my blanket or is wool more marketing than substance?

Answer 1

I got some vintage blankets off Etsy. They are 100% wool, and the warmth varies depending on the weight. And they are warm.

It could be that you have a wool blend, a lighter weight, or just that the old blanket are made better.
