What is the history of the herringbone pattern in blankets?
The herringbone pattern is a classic design that has its origins in antiquity, where it was used in textiles and weaving. The pattern is inspired by the shape of a fishbone and has a long history of use in various cultures and eras. To this day, it remains a widely used pattern in wooden floors and paving, but of course also in blankets.
What is the difference between Fishbone and Herringbone?
Fishbone and herringbone are English terms that both refer to the herringbone pattern, but there is a subtle difference between the two. The herringbone pattern has a flatter and more uniform shape, while the fishbone pattern has a more pronounced, sharper, and pointier appearance, similar to the shape of a fishbone. This difference is often not clearly visible in plaids. There are suppliers who use Fishbone for plaids with one color and beige, and Herringbone for plaids that are woven with two colors. To avoid confusion, we only use the term herringbone.

And to use grandmother's advice, if there is snow outside, lay the blanket in it, shake it out, and let it dry flat. Snow cleans just like wool does on its own.
