History of double long blankets:
Blankets are woven on long continuous rolls of about 25 pairs (50 singles) to a bolt.
Until the 1970s they were separated into pairs b...y the manufacturer, packaged and shipped as pairs.They were separated only at the point of sale.
A small nick or cut in the selvage of the blankets was made and the blankets were torn apart along the grain.They were also priced by the pair until the late 1950s or early 1960s.Non separated pairs were useful for campers and other outdoors enthusiasts.By folding the pair in half a simple sleeping bag or bed roll was created.Until the advent of modern outdoor gear blankets were often used this way.
