Why should you wrap a woolen blanket around a burning object?

Why the two thin woolen blanckets are warmer than a thick blanket?
Because there is a layer of air between them. As strange as it may seem, air is a great thermal isolator, even better than most clothing. The reason it seems it is not is because its movement evaporates water on the surface of our skin, thus diminishing the temperature, making us feel cooler. The air between the thin blankets is not moving around and will form an isolating layer that acts exactly like another blanket, thus improving the thermal isolation. This can be seen in action in isolating windows. Most of these windows are basically two sheets of glass separated by air (or a rare gas, but the effect is the same). Since the air is a great thermal isolator, the windows prevent heat exchange better than one made out of a single thick sheet of glass.
Why is a quilt a better insulator than a woolen blanket?
Quilts typically have multiple layers of fabric with batting in between, creating more air pockets that trap warmth. This design helps to retain heat better than a single layer of wool in a blanket. Additionally, the stitching in quilts helps to keep the layers in place, preventing cold spots.
