respin old baby blanket?

My fiancee has an old baby blanket that is in pieces. It's basically
knotted together and pretty much destroyed. But she sleeps with it
every night (even though she is 25).

Is it possible to break it down, respin the yarn and recreate the
blanket? This might be a completely naive question but it seems
possible to me. I have no idea who would be able to accomplish this
mighty task, but if I could have it done, I think it would be the most
amazing present EVER.

(If I lost the blanket though, the wedding would be off).

Make sure she would accept the remade version. She may have become
attached to the old knotted one.

Yeah, she probably likes it fine `as is'.

If this is a real blanket, made of fleece or other blanket material,
you can put a backing on, such as a solid color sheeting that matches a
color in the blanket. Then re-edge the blanket with blanket ribbon. I
did this with Nolan's "Guadi" and it is still able to be used. However,
if it is yarn in a baby afghan, I think I would leave it alone and let
it wear out on its own. I have heard of family members carrying around
small pieces of yarn that had come from their favorite baby blanket
until it was no more and the mom was afraid it would be sucked up into
the baby's nose when sleeping with it. Never happened, and eventually
the yarn was lost. You might suggest she keep it in something like a
pillow case so it does not rapidly self destruct. But otherwise, just
leave it alone.

Sorry there is not better advice to give, but that is the way of
blankets.

The ONLY thing you could do was sewing over it all length wise several
times and width wise several times with the Zigzag ,,,,, that is all
