I had one when I was a baby and carried it with me everywhere. I had it till it literally fell apart several years ago. I have been looking for a replacement for several years now. I found a couple on Ebay similar but people want anywhere from 60 dollars up to 200 and they want shipping too!!. I am sadly terminal now and barely surviving on SSI disability. I also have kids. I am desperately looking for one if anyone can help me. I miss that soft blanket and cold gentle satin. I’m 90% stuck in bed dye to severe pain and can hardly sleep as it is. I’m hoping someone has one lying around or can help me. It’s the one and only thing I really want.
We’ve actually done this thread before: What the heck happened to old school acrylic blankets? (aka, I'm neurotic) - Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS) - Straight Dope Message Board
I don’t have time to re-read it now, but maybe the answer is there!
I was thinking the same thread; can’t believe it’s that old, though.
I’ll guarantee that thread is what brought the OP here. If you didn’t notice, that thread is locked.
I saw that thread but it’s old and non of the links work. That’s why I tried posting a new one hoping someone had some info or advice

ETA Meant for MehJewl.
Did and responded!! Thank you =)
Did you check out the Vermont Country store link? Does this one look close enough to work?
I would love one those but sadly it’s way beyond my price range however yes it would suffice. There’s a few on Ebay but again way too high. They want 60 plus 20 in shipping for a blanket that’s used falling apart and almost 50 yrs old =(. I’ll link one below that’s exactly my baby blanket. I was hoping someone would have one hiding in there closet I could just pay shipping for if they could spare it. I’ve been looking a very very long time and being terminal and on SSI disability I’m honestly barely eating.

There are a couple more on Ebay but they are even more =(
It’s white, not blue, but fifteen bucks (and free shipping, no additional purchase necessary) on Amazon:

Here’s something similar in baby blue. Twelve bucks, and free shipping if you can find anything else (food? socks?) to get your order past $25:

Ive seen that one it’s not the same at all but thank you and the reviews are very bad on it. I do appreciate the effort though. I’ve been looking everywhere online. They dont make them anymore I was hoping someone had one hidden
