blanket (n.)
c.1300, "bed-clothing; white woolen stuff," from O.Fr. blanchet "light wool or flannel cloth; an article made of this material".

I think every kiwi (male?) born in the 1960s got one of these for their 21st birthday! This is Dave's. I see the latest thing is to make such articles into cushion covers but I don't think Dave will let me take a pair of scissors to this one.
