Tufted Underblankets
Tufted underblankets are be made by a process whereby short, or long (often known as Flokati) tufts of wool are individually inserted into a pre-woven backing using a needling technique.
Sliver Knit Underblankets
Silver knit underblankets are made using a process which converts wool fibres directly to fabric without the need to produce a yarn. Individual wool fibres are interlocked into the base structure as an integral part of the knitting process.
The resultant pile fabrics are very similar in appearance to natural sheepskin. Most products are produced with a synthetic yarn backing and an adhesive backcoating to bind the fibres into the knitted base.

lavorazione a pelo
Glenoit’s special sliver (sly-ver) knitting process locks individual fibers
directly into a lightweight knit backing allowing each fiber to stand
upright, free from the backing to form the soft pile on the face of the
fabric.
