These blankets have narrow lines in their fiber and then this woolen fiber is dyed with indigo or black colors. They are 10-15 cm long and are woven from all the edges. The size as well as the weight of this blanket is determined by the number of lines it has in it. Along with these full length lines, there are half-length lines that makes the folding easier and possible.
