<p>A variable tog blanket for use in the manufacture of bedding and clothing, particularly horse clothing, comprises a quilt (1) made up of two outer layers of material (3, 4) which are seamed together to form a plurality of pockets (6). Within at least some of the pockets (6) is located a filling (7). The tog rating of the quilt (1) varies across its surface depending upon the presence or otherwise of the filling (7) in the pockets (6) and the tog value of the filling (7) in each pocket (6). One way of manufacturing the blanket is to weave the two outer layers of material (3, 4) simultaneously as a two ply cloth which is stitched together in the weave at regular intervals to form the seams (5) which define the plurality of pockets (6). A filling (7) is then introduced between the stitched layers (3, 4) into at least some of the pockets (6) to form the quilt (1).</p> |
