Searching for blanket with satin trim

[Macphisto]

I’m looking for one of those old-style, vintage blnkets with the holes and the four-inch, not inch and a half, satin/nylon trim at top and bottom. Can anyone help? I’m in the UK.

I remembered that we had a couple of threads about these. I looked them up, and someone had found the blankets here: Waffle Weave Acrylic Blanket | Lightweight Throw with Satin Trim

They’re a bit pricey, and shipping to the UK will make them even more so, but maybe it will help you find what you’re after.

Some earlier threads:

Who wanted an old-school acrylic blanket with satin edge?

A long time ago someone on this board was looking for a certain type of blanket - the soft acrylic with satin edging. Did they ever find one? Because I think I have what they’re looking for and would be happy to send it to them.

What the heck happened to old school acrylic blankets? (aka, I'm neurotic)

Pretty much since my birth, I’ve had an acrylic blanket on my bed. You know, the kind with the 4-inch satin binding at the top and bottom that everyone seemed to have in the 70s and 80s. Since my earliest memory, I’ve had one of these blankets on my bed and I sleep clutching the binding in my hand - even now (yes, I know how weird that is). After about three nights of sleeping in a bed sans blanket, I start to sleep poorly. I know this is purely psychological, but there it is. My first blanket…

I had started the original thread years ago… those blankets unfortunately have a different type of nylon satin than the older blankets had, and the feel is totally different. So if that is important to anyone, I would avoid these.

The best option I have found is to search eBay for resellers. Terms like “vintage acrylic blanket”, “acrylic thermal blanket” work well. Many were manufactured by Chatham or Canon, so that’s also a good search keyword. “Chatham acrylic blanket” brings back several similar to what the OP is seeking. Good luck!
