Sew Fleece Blanket
No Sew Fleece Tie Blanket

Introduction:

What happens to plastic bottles after we throw them away? An interesting fact about plastic fabric or fleece is that it is a man-made fabric created from polyester fibers, which are created from recycled plastic soda bottles. The fibers are twisted into yarn, which is woven or twisted into fabric. Fleece is used to make blankets, throws, and clothing. My favorite craft project is to make a no sew tie blanket out of fleece fabric. Although I do not attempt many craft projects, this is one I can handle. I would like to demonstrate the process of how you can make your own blanket.

Thesis:

A no sew tie blanket is easy and inexpensive to make, the fabric is extremely soft and durable, and

    The second step is to separate the individual fibers of the fleece and pick out stems, rocks, and poop. To do this a machine called the picker is used. Simply spread the fleece out on the picker belt and allow the picker to pull the fibers apart and drop into the picker room. In the picker room there is a large auxiliary fan that stirs the fibers in their cotton candy like form. After all the fleece has ran through the picker, open the door to the picker room and spray a natural anti-static treatment to help in future steps. When the fibers dry, gather and place back into the tote.…

    pneumonia or other respiratory infections. If a horse must be blanketed in the colder temperatures of morning, make sure that you or another responsible hand is there to take the blanket off when temperatures rise later in the day. Therefore, it is important to choose a blanket that is appropriate to how much extra protection from the weather that the horse genuinely needs. Modern blankets are much warmer and resistant to weather than traditional wool blankets, using inner and outer shells with an insulating fiber between. Outer shells are usually made of synthetics which are water repellent and windproof, while the inner lining is smoother than wool so it won’t chafe against the horse’s skin. The filling between them provides warmth with much less bulk than older blankets. This means the overall blanket is light enough not to flatten the horse’s coat, and is more durable than their wool or cotton predecessors.…

    In the back of the tallest cabinet in my room lies a small, stringy blanket. That blanket was beautifully hand-made by my great grandmother who wove it just for me, but after enduring the hardships of being in the hands of a toddler, the yarn began to fall apart. Although the string may not all be there, the memories that replaced the yarn will be there forever. The memories that torn-up blanket hold are just as woven into the blanket as the string. Even though I may no longer be able to use the blanket, I will always hold onto it to remind me of some of my happiest childhood memories. I remember dragging the blanket around with me wherever I went: around the house, to the store, on a walk around the neighborhood. Perhaps that is why the strings…

    What is the importance of knitting? Why do humans spend so long clacking away with a pair of sticks and wool, creating a piece of clothing or otherwise that is so material, so otherwise meaningless? Well, it is because there is a need for sentimental value in correspondence with material items, namely a scarf or a beanie. We feel the need to attach emotions to the things we possess, and what better way to do that than to flaunt grandma's new scarf? We are very naïve creatures, us humans, and we cloud our minds with the need for love and affection and appreciation. Therefore, by labouring over the binding of wool, we can showcase these primitive human desires and curry favour. The currying of favour is very important in such matters as well, namely because it opens the gates towards the recipient of the initial knitted gift, and prompts them to return the favour. In this way equal love can be shown through both parties, depending upon the quality of the knit work, of course.…
