Because there are so many different kinds of blankets available on the market today that range from light throws with decorative fringe to luxuriously thick angora hair delights, it is impossible to adequately give attention to blankets in general. So if you're in the market for a new blanket to replace a worn favorite, chances are you'll have some preset notions about what type of texture, fabric, feel, color and possibly even what price range you want your new blanket to be.
Like comfort food, a good blanket can be the source of much contentment. After a hard day at work, a rain-soaked trip across town and many other day-to-day stressors, a blanket can soothe hurt feelings, warm cold feet and shelter tired shoulders, giving us that warm, fuzzy, relaxed feeling from head to toe. Blankets can and do serve a variety of purposes ranging from functionality to pure enjoyment. No matter what you want your new blanket to do for you or what it will be used for, remember that no blanket serves every covering purpose but that there is a blanket for every covering need.
