Pinzon's Zero-Twist blanket is made from pure, luxurious Egyptian cotton. Zero twist technology is an innovative hydro-spinning process that, when used with Egyptian cotton, results in an incredibly soft yarn that wicks moisture. The blanket is lightweight, yet provides substantial warmth that is comfortable and breathable. A herringbone pattern gives the blanket an attractive, updated look that combines with most any bedding and decor. The blanket is expertly made in Portugal and offered in a choice of sizes and versatile colors. Queen size measures 90 by 92 inches. The blanket is safe to clean at home in the washer and dryer.

Definition of Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.
