The company is called Skip Stitch, and it sells the rotary blades to make holes in fleece.
I went to this website http://www.skipstitch.com/ and ordered the speciality blade for my 45 mm rotary cutter.
The blade makes tiny holes that are evenly spaced apart. The website has a little video with instructions.
Another board member told me that these blades are also available from the Project Linus website.

For the blankets I use an awl to punch the holes. I tried the rotary cutter but didn't like it. I punch the holes about 3/8 of an inch from the edge and about 3/8 of an inch apart. I do different patterns depending on my mood or the design in the fleece. I use yarn, mostly worsted weight though I have used baby yarn with a smaller hook on some. I like worsted weight better. They go faster. And since I make these to sell my time is valuable. I have probably made 300 blankets in the past 3 years. That is alot of holes punched.
By the way, I use a yard of fleece and cut in half length-wise so I get 2 blankets per yard.
Thanks for all the compliments.
