Large woollen cloth - it is translated with the English word "plaid". Over the years of its existence it was part of the service, and road cover. Today, without it is impossible to imagine any one apartment: they either cover the bed or use as a second blanket. How to choose the warm and cozy blanket? Choose the suitable material
In the shop we often select the blankets on the principle of external beauty and softness, almost oblivious to the composition. Although the material of the blanket determines its quality. All covers can be divided into two groups: the blankets with a predominance of natural fibers and synthetic rugs.
Synthetic rugs
When choosing a rug, don't believe their hands: the soft and fluffy blanket, as a rule, made of 100% polyester or acrylic. But in addition to the disadvantages of synthetic and there are obvious advantages.
Pros:
- Pleasant to the touch.
- Low cost.
- Easy care - normal machine wash at 30 degrees and no Ironing.
- The best option for Allergy sufferers.
Cons:
Wear out quickly. After a few washings pile tumbles and plaid lose their marketability.
- Accumulate static electricity and attract dust stronger than natural.
- Do not provide sufficient air circulation.
Wool rugs
Woolen blankets are very warm and cozy. They will fit into any decor, and most importantly, very warm. Of course, there are such blankets much more expensive, but worth its value.
Pros:
- Wool provides comfort and the so-called "dry heat", allowing the body to "breathe".
- This blanket, even absorbing the moisture on the touch remains dry.
- Does not require frequent washings. Wool has the unique ability to self-clean: moisture evaporates quickly, you should get out from under the coverlet, and dust and dirt easily shaken off with fibers.
Wool helps to activate blood circulation, relieves muscular tension, back pain and joints.
- Durability.
Cons:
- "Prickly".
- Can cause allergies.
- High cost.
- Color wool rugs are traditionally not as interesting as acrylic.
Even if you have already made a choice in favor of woolen plaid, do not rush with the purchase. Now you need to decide which coat should be plaid.
Wool
The warmest and most inexpensive option. Excellent help with sciatica, arthritis and insomnia. Since the structure of sheep hair similar to a human, this wool plaid almost prickly. However, for children and delicate persons should choose plaid lambs wool: it is less warm, but softer.
Goat wool
The material for these expensive wool rugs is winter undercoat with neck and chest Kashmiri mountain goats. Therefore, cashmere blankets are very warm, light and most importantly, gentle. After contact with skin, this rug perfectly relieves muscle tension.
Camel wool
Camel wool has unique properties: it protects from electromagnetic radiation, removes static electricity and neutralize allocated with a person then the toxins. This blanket is useful for problems with the spine and joints. But due to the high lanolin content in the wool composition allergies such blankets are contraindicated. By the way, plaid camel wool sheep easier and quickly absorbs moisture.
Alpaca
Alpaca wool is much stronger, warmer and lighter in weight than sheep. The Alpaca fiber are extremely rich colours (24 natural shade! ), softness and Shine. The Alpaca fur is completely absent lanolin and other organic fats, so the blanket does not live dust mites.
Wool Lama
Lama - a close relative of the Alpaca. Because of this they are often confused. Carefully read the labels and look at the price!
Select the plaid interior
Plaid is not a "center" of the interior. It does not focus, so if you stick to the classic style, pick up understated plaid, which, for example, will be in color to blend in with the upholstery, curtains, carpets, etc. to Determine how well he will fit in the room, easily. Roll it or fold it, put in a chair or in the corner of the sofa. When entering the room the rug is not flashy, not allocated, if "not" it's all right, it is suitable for you.
Very well looked blankets that color on one to three shades lighter sofa and all the textiles in the room. If the room is decorated in light colours, the plaid suit is as light or other suitable shades - for example, pale peach plaid to light cream upholstery. Very dark plaid on light sofa risky idea.
Colorful plaids and stripes, plaid or with a vivid picture look good only if the upholstery and other textiles is plain, peaceful color. A very good technique is to find, for example, striped plaid, part of the strips which coincides in color with the color of the upholstery. This blanket is perfectly freshen the interior.
But plaid with a bright floral pattern requires particularly restrained "framing" and in any case not suitable for the room in which already reigns riot of colors. Also worth a follow and consistent texture. If all the textiles in the room - silky (satin, silk, satin), and the plaid should be smooth, rather thin; heavy wool rug will look great in this room, rude and completely inappropriate. If the room is full of fluffy, textured fabrics (velvet, melange, tapestry, fleece, carpets), the plaid should pick up as more fluffy fur, knitted or wool.
The secrets of caring for rugs
- Clean the blanket of dust, you can use a regular brush for clothes.
- Wool plaids better wash by hand in cool water, with the addition of delicate detergents. This is their great practical advantage over synthetic rugs, which after washing may fade or shed. If you have soiled artificial plaid, it is best to take it to the dry cleaners.
- You can not wring out the rug after washing: he may lose shape. To dry it in factored form on a smooth surface.
- Plaid has to "breathe", but the standard plastic packaging prevents this. If you temporarily do not use plaid, store it in a cardboard box or just on a shelf of the rack in collapsed form.
