A thick blanket of carded and felted wool, dense enough to provide substantial warmth without stuffing. Heavy blankets are used alone for winter sleeping or layered in bedrolls, hung as room-dividers in tents, or employed as ground-cloth in temporary camps. They are durable but slow to dry if soaked and require regular beating to shed dust and vermin.
