Woven Blankets Explained – What They Are and Why the Material Matters

If you’ve ever wrapped yourself in a woven blanket, you know the difference—it's not just about staying warm. There’s a texture, weight, and quality that you simply don’t get with printed fleece or synthetic throws. But what exactly is a woven blanket, and what makes the material so special?

What Is a Woven Blanket?

A woven blanket is created by interlacing threads of yarn—typically cotton or a cotton blend—on a loom, forming patterns, designs, and sometimes even text as part of the actual structure of the blanket.

Unlike printed blankets, where the design is applied on top of the fabric, woven blankets are built from the design itself. The artwork or text is literally woven into the fabric, giving it depth, texture, and long-lasting beauty.

Materials Matter – What Are Woven Blankets Made Of?

Our woven blankets are made primarily from high-quality cotton and cotton/poly blends.

Cotton-Polyester Blend
