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](https://www.vermontcountrystore.com/acrylic-blanket/product/77432) 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. ---

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).

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!
