Design practice

To make it more usable as a logo I decided to use the blanket pattern for surface of the type. In my head it was a good idea but when I actually tried it on photoshop I was hugely dissapointed. It's not very readable. Maybe if i use a thicker type it would work?.....

Oh dear. I guess not. It must be the colour and pattern of the texture. The whites in the pattern is making it less readable
