Have any of you seen the blankets for sale on the side of the road? Usually wild designs! My son was at a show and outside this show were vendors set up on the streets. One was a guy with these blankets. My son loved the feel of them so he bought one for the family. They spent the next year fighting over that blanket. And googling to try and find more. He couldn't find them. At this years show the guy was back. My son bought three and I bought four. One for a friend who's house does not heat well. I have a Sherpa on my bed and I'm here to tell you, if you don't get warm with that blanket you have a problem. It is fairly light, polyester and snugly soft.
