    A pure cotton cellular blanket would be really easy to dye red - just get a white (or unbleached one) and then you can do any colour you want.

    I have a solid red one (as well as matching sheet set) and it's made by Duck Home. I have no idea if you can still buy them though. I think David Jones sell Duck Home.

    Good luck!

    I have a "Pink Hut" Red with White stars blanket, it is 100% cotton and I LOVE it But it isn't the waffle weave youa re looking for, but it is a gorgeous blanket. We also have a Little House Blanket "Millie", is is light, 100% wool and devine (that one was a gift from a group of friends, we were sooo lucky to get one ), they do now offer a 100% cotton version as well.

    Not sure if any of that was any help

    Thanks!

    Thank you ladies for your excellent tips of brands to search for and stores to visit. I'm sure I'll find something lovely now.

    Muppity that's a great idea - you can tell I'm not very handy as the idea of dying a white blanket never occurred to me! But hey now I'm soon to become a mum, I better get a bit more handy/creative....!

    I got given a red blanket from Ikea, it's solid bright red with an embroidered white love heart type thing (though not very big) it's called a "FABLER HJÄRTA" if you look at the website.
