Weaving wool blankets continues to be really fun and enjoyable for me. I've woven over 100 blankets with a Shetland wool warp; most have the same wool for weft, but now and then I use my handspun wool, mohair or alpaca. These blankets soften and look better as soon as they get some use, so keep that in mind if you see them in person. :-)
Here they are, along with their current location:

* I remember buying dyed fleece at FibresWest in March 2013, which I used in this blanket.
It was quite memorable for me to get it directly from the producer. I think
it's pure wool but it has a lovely lustre, so there could be some mohair in it.
It was really lovely to spin. This blanket is about 50% handspun, it's very warm,
and it has a beautiful range of subtle shades of reddy browns - see detail below. |
