A person or machine that applies blankets or blankets fabric; one who blankets something or makes blankets.
From blanket plus -er (one who does the action). This is a more modern formation than blanketeer, using the standard English agentive -er suffix found in words like 'worker' or 'maker.'
Modern factories have machines that are blanketeers of a sort—automatically spreading, folding, and stacking blankets at incredible speeds, replacing what once took teams of workers.
