A Granny square
Now, the icy cold winter has come. All the things in the environment are almost covered with snow. How do people keep their body temperature around 37 degrees of Celsius when snowing all around. All are shivering due to the cold climate. At night severity of the cold is maximum. All are eager to have warm blankets. But the blanket should be soft, lightweight, and heat conserving. One blanket is not enough for one person. You have to have more blankets. Old, used blankets are not good. You have to have a new blanket to keep you warm. At night unbearable cold hits you. You can't sleep with this unkind icy coldness. So, one has to have large blankets to cover up our whole body.
What are the measurements for blankets used in adults beds?
There are different sizes of blankets to use in beds of adults as, twin 66"x 90", double 80"x 90", queen 90"x 90", and king 108"x 100".
What are the suitable yarns for blankets?
Wool is the best I think. Wool blankets can preserve the warmness of the body. Woolen blankets made out of animal fur are very expensive. Synthetic acrylic yarn is less expensive.
