Has anyone seen a blanket like this being sold anywhere? I'm trying to restore this one and it has several large holes and is threadbare in many areas so I was hoping to find a similar blanket to use to reinforce and patch with. Also, any ideas for repair in general? I'm a novice with a sewing machine so I was trying to keep it as simple as possible. I've asked some local seamstresses, but so far they've said they can't help without similar fabric to work with. :( Let me know what you think!! Thank you :)

It looks like you could darn it. Get a book on darning or google it. Use the same colors of thread. You could make a sturdy repair that is not very noticeable.
It would really be unusual if you found a blanket like this - more like pure luck! I can easily see why you would like to restore it but with the large holes this may not be possible. Some places may be fixable but since this is a reversible blanket it would probably not look so good.
Thank you!! I will look into both ideas, I would like to keep both sides if possible so I might try darning first, if that doesn't work I will look into reinforcing with a similar color blanket. Thank you!!
Sorry to reply to an old thread, but... did you ever find a solution? I have the exact same blanket from my mother, but no idea where we got it, and it's getting threadbare as well.
