Nowadays, in the market 99% of the blankets available are machine-made, Only 1% are handwoven, which are the original ones. Machine-made blankets contain 80% of polyester fibers and 20% of others, while handwoven blankets are made entirely 100% of pure sheep wool. A simple way to distinguish between these two types of blankets is to examine the fringes. <\/span><b>Examining the fringes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the ghongadi is a method applicable to all synthetic and handmade ghongadis, i.e. Lightweight, Heavyweight and Rainy Ghongadi blanket.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Machine-made synthetic blankets have short, loosely woven fringes, and they are cut in a straight line.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Handloom ghongadi have longer fringes that are woven in a loop or chain pattern.
