Many types of blanket material, such as [[wool]], are used because they are thicker and have more substantial fabric to them, but [[cotton]] can also be used for light blankets. Wool blankets are warmer and also relatively slow to burn compared to cotton. The most common types of blankets are woven acrylic, knitted polyester, [[mink]], cotton, fleece and wool. Blankets also come with exotic crafting and exotic material such as crocheted [[Afghan (blanket)|afghan]] or a silk covering. The term blanket is often interchanged with [[comforter]], [[quilt]], and [[duvet]], as they all have similar uses.
