It seems to do a much better job holding up to the wear and tear of riding, better than any of the other types of materials I've tried. And perhaps the best testimony is that my horses have never developed saddle sores with a wool-felted blanket. ਀ഊWhen the time comes to clean it, a hose is all you need. If there are grease spots for whatever reason (transporting, etc.) a dab of Dawn dishwashing detergent takes care of it… although, care must be used to rinse it thoroughly. Drip dry and you're ready go riding again. ਀ഊI've slept on my wool-felted saddle blanket many times during camping trips. They do a wonderful job of keeping the cold away. They're also very comfortable to lie on. And what can be better than lying on your horse's blanket by the campfire, looking up at the stars and moon and feeling the bond between you and your horse. ਀ഊWhat Are Saddle Blankets Made Of Resources ਀ഊMcBane, Susan.

I measured my blanket making careful note of the areas that were not usable. After my calculations, I decided I had a 57-inch by 50-inch rectangular piece of felted wool. ਀ഊI cut the felted wool blanket down to my usable material. Noticing there were areas that were a little on the thin side, I decided to "full the felt." ਀ഊ ਀䘀攀氀琀椀渀最 愀渀搀 䘀甀氀氀椀渀最ഊ ਀䘀攀氀琀椀渀最 椀猀 琀栀攀 瀀爀漀挀攀猀猀 漀昀 爀攀搀甀挀椀渀最 漀爀 洀愀琀琀椀渀最 眀漀漀氀 昀椀戀攀爀猀⸀ഊ ਀䘀甀氀氀椀渀最 琀栀攀 昀攀氀琀 椀猀 昀氀甀昀昀椀渀最 琀栀攀 洀愀琀琀攀搀 昀椀戀攀爀猀⸀ഊ ਀䘀甀氀氀椀渀最 琀栀攀 昀攀氀琀 椀渀瘀漀氀瘀攀搀 眀漀爀欀椀渀最 琀栀攀 昀攀氀琀 眀椀琀栀 栀漀琀 眀愀琀攀爀 椀渀 洀礀 戀愀琀栀琀甀戀 ⠀戀攀挀愀甀猀攀 漀昀 琀栀攀 猀椀稀攀 漀昀 琀栀攀 昀攀氀琀攀搀 眀漀漀氀Ⰰ 戀礀 爀漀氀氀椀渀最 愀渀搀 猀焀甀攀攀稀椀渀最 椀琀 椀渀 洀礀 栀愀渀搀猀⸀ 嬀㠀崀   䄀昀琀攀爀 爀椀渀猀椀渀最 挀愀爀攀昀甀氀氀礀Ⰰ 䤀 爀漀氀氀攀搀 琀栀攀 昀攀氀琀攀搀 眀漀漀氀 戀攀琀眀攀攀渀 琀眀漀 琀漀眀攀氀猀 愀渀搀 猀焀甀攀攀稀攀搀 琀栀攀 攀砀挀攀猀猀 眀愀琀攀爀 昀爀漀洀 琀栀攀 洀愀琀攀爀椀愀氀⸀  ഊ ਀䤀 昀椀渀椀猀栀攀搀 椀琀 漀昀昀 戀礀 椀爀漀渀椀渀最 琀栀攀 戀氀愀渀欀攀琀 漀渀 栀椀最栀 栀攀愀琀 ⠀眀漀漀氀 猀攀琀琀椀渀最⤀⸀  ഊ ਀吀眀漀 爀攀愀猀漀渀猠☀ ഊ ਀㄀⤀ 琀漀 栀攀氀瀀 猀瀀攀攀搀 琀栀攀 搀爀礀椀渀最 漀昀 琀栀攀 洀愀琀攀爀椀愀氀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 ഊ ਀㈀⤀ 琀漀 昀氀愀琀琀攀渀 椀琀 漀甀琀⸀  圀栀椀氀攀 䤀 眀愀猀 椀爀漀渀椀渀最 椀琀Ⰰ 䤀 眀愀猀 氀漀漀欀椀渀最 昀漀爀 琀栀椀渀 猀瀀漀琀猀 琀栀愀琀 洀椀最栀琀 栀愀瘀攀 渀攀攀搀攀搀 洀漀爀攀 愀琀琀攀渀琀椀漀渀⸀  䤀 眀愀猀 瘀攀爀礀 栀愀瀀瀀礀 眀椀琀栀 琀栀攀 眀愀礀 琀栀攀 戀氀愀渀欀攀琀 琀甀爀渀攀搀 漀甀琀 愀昀琀攀爀 琀栀椀猀 瀀爀漀挀攀猀猀⸀ഊ ਀䌀漀渀琀椀渀甀椀渀最 漀渀 眀椀琀栀 洀礀 瀀爀漀樀攀挀琀Ⰰ 䤀 挀甀琀 漀甀琀 㐀 栀漀爀猀攀 愀瀀瀀氀椀焀甀猀 昀爀漀洀 洀礀 瀀甀爀瀀氀攀 眀漀漀氀 洀愀琀攀爀椀愀氀⸀  䄀 瀀愀椀爀 昀漀爀 攀愀挀栀 猀椀搀攀⸀ഊ ਀圀栀攀渀 搀漀椀渀最 礀漀甀爀 漀眀渀 猀愀搀搀氀攀 戀氀愀渀欀攀琀⸀⸀⸀ 氀攀琀 礀漀甀爀 椀洀愀最椀渀愀琀椀漀渀 戀攀 礀漀甀爀 最甀椀搀攠☀ 愀渀椀洀愀氀猀Ⰰ 昀氀漀眀攀爀猀Ⰰ 猀栀愀瀀攀猀Ⰰ 最攀漀洀攀琀爀椀挀 搀攀猀椀最渀猠☀ 愀氀氀 眀攀爀攀 甀猀攀搀 椀渀 倀攀爀猀椀愀渀 攀洀戀爀漀椀搀攀爀礀⸀ഊ ਀䤀 瀀甀爀挀栀愀猀攀搀 ㄀　 猀欀攀椀渀猀 漀昀 ㌀ⴀ瀀氀礀 眀漀漀氀 礀愀爀渀 昀爀漀洀 洀礀 氀漀挀愀氀 礀愀爀渀 洀攀爀挀栀愀渀琀⸀  䴀礀 椀渀琀攀渀琀 眀愀猀 琀漀 猀攀瀀愀爀愀琀攀 琀栀攀 瀀氀椀攀猀 愀渀搀 甀猀攀 琀栀攀洀 愀猀 洀礀 ∀攀洀戀爀漀椀搀攀爀 琀栀爀攀愀搀⸀∀ഊ ਀㄀ 挀甀琀 ㄀㠀ⴀ椀渀挀栀 瀀椀攀挀攀猀 漀昀 礀愀爀渀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 琀栀攀 瀀氀椀攀猀Ⰰ 眀栀椀挀栀 眀攀爀攀 渀漀琀 琀椀最栀琀氀礀 猀瀀甀渀Ⰰ 猀攀瀀愀爀愀琀攀搀 焀甀椀琀攀 攀愀猀椀氀礀⸀ഊ ਀䤀 搀椀搀 渀漀琀 欀渀漀琀 洀礀 ∀眀漀漀氀 琀栀爀攀愀搀∀ 䤀 爀愀渀 椀琀 琀栀爀漀甀最栀 琀栀攀 洀愀琀攀爀椀愀氀 愀渀搀 戀愀挀欀 甀渀搀攀爀 椀琀猀攀氀昀 琀漀 ∀氀漀挀欀∀ 椀琀 椀渀 瀀氀愀挀攀⸀  吀栀椀猀 氀攀昀琀 愀 洀甀挀栀 猀洀漀漀琀栀攀爀 氀漀漀欀 琀漀 琀栀攀 攀洀戀爀漀椀搀攀爀礀 愀渀搀 戀氀愀渀欀攀琀 椀琀猀攀氀昀⸀ഊ ਀ഊEmbroidering ਀ഊEmbroidering is the ornamentation of fabric with needlework. ਀ഊAs a beginner in embroidering, I felt it prudent to get assistance from the internet and beginning embroidery books. ਀ഊI used 4 stitches on my blanket… ਀ഊThe running stitch… ਀ഊ"Pass the needle in and out of the fabric, making the surface stitches of equal length. The stitches on the underside should also be of equal length, but half the size or less than the upper stitches."

Bring the needle through again a little in front of the first stitch, then take another stitch, inserting the needle at the point where it first came through." [11] ਀ഊFinishing off my project with: ਀ഊThe blanket stitch… ਀ഊ"A popular finishing stitch for edges. Work stitch from left to right, bringing needle from back to front at A. Insert needle from front to back to front in a single motion at B and C. Before pulling needle through fabric, carry floss under point of needle as shown in illustration. Special note: needle exit point C is A of following stitch. Stitch length can be alternated to add a pattern effect to the finishing edge." [12] ਀ഊOnce my project was completed, I soaked the blanket again and gently massaged the stitches into the felt. Hung it carefully to dry with two towels beneath it to catch the excess water dripping down the fringe. ਀ഊ ਀䴀夀 倀刀伀䨀䔀䌀吀ഊ ਀䴀愀琀攀爀椀愀氀猀 ☀ 䴀攀琀栀漀搀猀 漀昀 䌀漀渀猀琀爀甀挀琀椀漀渀 刀攀猀漀甀爀挀攀猀ഊ ਀匀愀爀愀椀 䄀氀戀甀洀猀Ⰰ ㄀㘀琀栀 䌀攀渀琀甀爀礀Ⰰ 吀愀戀爀椀稀Ⰰ 䤀爀愀渀Ⰰ 䠀愀稀椀渀攀 ㈀㄀㘀㄀Ⰰ 昀漀氀椀漀 㐀愀ഊ ਀匀椀渀最洀愀渀Ⰰ 䨀攀昀昀爀攀礀 愀渀搀 䴀愀挀䰀攀愀渀Ⰰ 圀椀氀氀Ⰰ 䐀愀椀氀礀 䰀椀昀攀 椀渀 䌀栀愀甀挀攀爀✀猀 䔀渀最氀愀渀搀Ⰰ 䜀爀攀攀渀眀漀漀搀 瀀爀攀猀猀Ⰰ 圀攀猀琀瀀漀爀琀Ⰰ 䌀吀Ⰰ㄀㤀㤀㔀 ഊ ਀栀琀琀瀀㨀⼀⼀眀眀眀⸀攀洀戀爀漀椀搀攀爀攀爀猀最甀椀氀搀⸀挀漀洀⼀猀琀椀琀挀栀⼀猀琀椀琀挀栀攀猀⼀爀甀渀渀椀渀最⸀栀琀洀氀ഊhttp://www.embroiderersguild.com/stitch/stitches ਀栀琀琀瀀㨀⼀⼀眀眀眀⸀愀渀渀椀攀猀愀琀琀椀挀⸀挀漀洀⼀挀爀漀猀猀ⴀ猀琀椀琀挀栀⼀挀漀渀琀攀渀琀⸀栀琀洀氀㼀挀漀渀琀攀渀琀开椀搀㴀㐀㘀ഊ ਀ഊCONCLUSION ਀ഊWhile I enjoyed hand embroidering my saddle blanket, I've come to the conclusion that I prefer to have my "mechanical embroidery guild" (aka my electronic embroidery machines) embellish my equestrian accessories. ਀ഊI was not able to embroider wool thread on the wool felt with any sort of accuracy. Stitches too small tore through the felting. Stitches too large looked clumsy to me. Therefore my designs are simplistic and large and (to me) look as if a 3-year old child (my apologies to any 3-year olds in the audience) grasped a large Crayola crayon in their fist and started drawing on the wall. ਀ഊAnother interesting note… I found out my husband is allergic to wool.
