Anybody ever seen or heard of one?
Found one labled Olefin blend in the Op-Shop today, bought it because I have never seen that label before and it was in the dog bedding basket for 50 cnets, I can afford 50 cents even if it needs a damned good wash
Just another mad experiment I guess

Washed and it is dry after spinning. Looks like wool but isn't. First time I have ever seen a polypropylene fabric this thick and coarse. Into the winter car kit it goes

Canine bedding? Built tough for the purpose?

Not its originl purpose It is a full size single blanket No other markings
If it was a hospital blanket [never heard of hospitals using them tho] it would have laundry markings etc
Just one of those interesting things I come across sometimes

Interesting to see what companies make/use Olefin fibres...
"Thinsulate", "Polar Guard", "CoolMax", "Tyvek"
All products I have at home right now... (and wearing one right now!)
I'm guessing they'd make it in varying fibre thicknesses/comfort levels...

"Apparel
Sports & active wear, socks, thermal underwear; lining fabrics."I know it's used in some of the hiking and running socks I have.

It isn't a bushwalking product but I'll find a use for it in the car kit or for a blanket on the cot
