I invested some time this week in finishing my blanket on the loom, and realised that I had started warping up for this almost a year ago...thinking that I would have it finished and on the sofa a few weeks later, hah, little did I know it would take me twelve months.I am a beginner weaver and I came across lots of little problems with this one. It is the largest blanket I have made and is another double weave, ( the same colours and wool as the one I made last year for Alexander). All the problems and the many metres of wool that it took in the making, has put me off making another one like it for a while.
For now though I am pretty thrilled to have it finished. It is drying doubled over on the washing line. I washed it very carefully in "softly"and it has "fulled nicely.
The yarns I used were again from Touch yarns...soft merino/mohair boucle.

Oh Sally Anne - it's just beautiful! It looks so cosy, just right for snuggling.
Fantastic. I spotted it when you showed a picture of your studio and wasn't surprised that you are a weaver too. I aspire to achieve expertise in as many crafts as you one day.
It looks lovely! Congratulations on finishing it!
Georgeous! Well worth the effort.
That is just gorgeous.
It's a bit mind numbing to think of all the time and effort that went into the making of it.
Just wonderful - well done.
wow!!!
