Shetland Wool and Alpaca Blankets

I wove two blankets with machine-spun two-ply alpaca on the Shetland wool warp. These ones finished up beautifully and are the widest blankets I've ever been able to produce - in other words, washing barely shrunk the alpaca widthwise. This is probably because the alpaca includes very low percentages of bamboo or nylon to increase its strength and minimize shrinkage.
