Wow it’s still so warm. I’m someone that needs a blanket though so I wish I had one of those thin cotton blankets.

I could crochet one now I’ve learned a bit but think of how long it would take and the price of the yarn. Cotton yarn does cost more than the bog standard acrylic

Edit: Huh. They sell literal cooling blankets

I love my cotton blanket. Mum has been picking them up from op shops the last few years. Heavy enough as I need to sleep with some weight but still cool enough to use in summer.

I've seen ads for those cooling blankets but haven't been game enough to make the jump.

I should really check the op shops but they haven’t had much good and I worry about secondhand bedding
