hello everyone ,I’m Tim ,the blanket supplier from China .
today I want to share something about the double layers sherpa blanket .
usually the sherpa blanket are all made of two layers plush fabric
the back fabric are all sherpa plush fabric or cotton plush fabric
because the shape of sherpa plush is same as the cotton on the tree .
and the front fabric could be many different kinds of plush or fleece blanket
like flannel plush ,super soft plush ,polar fleece or micro plush or PV plush .
the sherpa plush is classical weft terry knitting fabric with 100% polyester micro fibers .
for the sherpa plush fabric ,the front face have the plush and the back face have no plush .
which is the basic reason why all sherpa blanket are all double layers blanket .
you also must want to ask that why the original material are all 100% polyester fibers
because the polyester fiber is the synthetic fiber not like the natural fibers
which have so many different shapes ,features or changes could be created .

there are two different specifications of the polyester fibers .
DTY 150D/48F is for the base structure of the fabric .
and DTY 150D/288F or 144F is for the plush face of the fabric .
usually it’s weaving on a 16-needle weft knitting machine .

binding edge could make the blanket more superior quality
specially using the super soft fabric to binding the edge
the corner for the binding edge is very important
and also we need to avoid missing pin along the binding edge .
