Good ^ISnkst Durability of the nsp is an important quality that every good blanket should possess. To determine this quality when purchasing blankets, the housewife should examine them to see if the weave is firm enough and the fiber long enough to be securely locked in the weave structure. A double weave has two sets of filling and permits more napping without the danger o% "over-napping." A blanket that has been overnapped provides warmth at a sacrifice of strength. It is desirable to choose s blanket 10 inches longer and 18 inches wider than the mattress. Wartime sestrictions now limit blanket lengths to 84 inches, but this is usually adequate.
