[AS.weighted blankets]

[wispfox]

So... I can find weighted blankets, as well as instructions on how to make them, which is good. (yay!)

But I'm not even sure that what I'm actually looking for is possible. I can approximate weighted blankets in the winter by piling lots of blankets on myself. But, in summer, it's too warm and/or humid for that. So I'm trying to find something which would have weight but no to nearly no heat retention (the equivalant of a very thin sheet, or nothing at all). I'm not sure this is possible, though...

(instructions), and a couple of ebay stores which sell them. Also, some other stores with sensory stimulation stuff, just because lots of them are nifty. :)

I wonder if you could take two sheets and sew ball chain (http://www.ballchain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=BCM&Product_Code=%2330NPS) in between them?

But yes, buying would be easier than making, and I like that everybody wants to make a chainmail quilt :)

Ball chain: would likely depend on how heavy each one is, as it's much _much_ better to have the weight evenly spead out.

You'd have a problem with machine washability. Also, those are nickel-plated, which you don't really want anywhere near skin.

Ah. Yes. I kinda figured these wouldn't work so well.
