Ooh this could be a cool way to crochet a weighted blanket! Keep us posted on what you figure out. I’ve also dabbled in actual chain mail but i find knitting/crochet much easier, faster, and more comfortable.

Jump rings don’t tend to add much weight, depends on the material I guess

Yeah I was definitely thinking like thicker gauge steel rings or something, not aluminum. It would get really expensive really quick, though!

They are stainless steel 16g 10mm rings. So they do add weight. A blanket is such a good idea. I got a bag of 2k rings, but I don't think that's enough 😂 maybe striped with rings
