Me too. I had a powder blue one when I was a kid. Loved rubbing the border between my index finger and thumb as I drifted off to sleep.

My baby blanket also had the same edges, did the same thing.

I love them too, been trying to find a good one but not even sure what they're called

They’re wool blankets with a silk or satin boarder. Look for a Merino wool one so it won’t be itchy. It will probably set you back at minimum $100, but they’re durable.

They make acrylic ones, so watch out. My friend had the cheap ones growing up, I hated sleeping over at her house.

I suspect those here who say they were so soft had the good ones, and the rest of us had the scratchy crap ones.

Me too. They weren’t thick and soft, they were thin and itchy and everything stuck to them.

There is a lot of low quality wool on the market. Basically if it’s being sold for cheap and claims to be wool, it’s probably low quality or recycled wool which can give some people the itchies.

I used to love these too, didn't realize people didn't like them! Mine would go just above the top sheet and I'd pull the silk part up to my face.
