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?

Those good old itchy wool blankets from the military will turn you away from wool forever, at least it did for me.
