In modern ensembles products of small thickness bring unique notes of luxury and aristocracy. More lush and fluffy large-knit plaids make the interiors a bit naive and even touching. If you want to effectively beat the contrast between the monochrome design of the room and the warm natural wool, then you should get a blanket of a brighter and more saturated color. This may be a juicy model of orange, coral, brick, turquoise, etc.

Such a bright and beautiful bedspread can be laid on the sofa. But many owners find such use of the thing too rude. In such conditions, the woolen blanket will quickly lose its presentation.

• In the process of washing do not allow twisting and strong friction of the material. It is not necessary to squeeze a woolen blanket using a centrifuge, as this may lead to its hopeless damage and loss of shape.
• After washing, the blanket must be slightly wrung out, without exerting any extra effort or pulling it out. This is necessary to remove excess water from the material.
• After washing the plaid must be properly dried.In no case do not use additional heating means: hair dryers, portable heaters, batteries, etc. Under the influence of these items, a thing may lose its presentation and become rough to the touch.
