A woolen blanket is a good thermal insulator. Actually, air is among the very best of thermal insulator, and the wool fibre /fibreglass fibres, macerated paper, porous foam) serves to keep the air from moving and thus losing heat. Heat could be lost by radiation, conduction, and convection (a special case of conduction and convection combined.).

Not of great importance in a blanket, but of importance in clothing is the fact that wool does not absorb water easily.

What is spun yarn?

There are two basic techniques for spinning wool: woolen and worsted. In woolen spinning, the fibers are oriented perpendicular to the yarn being made, while in worsted spinning the fibers are oriented parallel to the yarn being made. Woolen fibers are carded, creating a fuzzier, softer yarn. Worsted fibers are combed creating a smoother, harder yarn. Woolen yarns are generally preferred by knitters while worsted yarns are generally preferred by weavers.
