I think they're made by the folks who make Shout. They work well to collect the excess dye. If you think some of the color will wash out of your yarn, I wouldn't hesitate to use those sheets. The RIT product is intended to remove color prior to dyeing it with RIT dye. My mother used it many years ago to whiten some things and as I remember, you had to cook the stuff on the stove. I would hesitate to do that with your blanket. On top of that, the RIT stuff stunk to high heavens. I don't know if you could get the odor back out of your blankett.
