Weave an entire colorful and scrumptious blanket in one week
Instructor: Becky Ashenden
Dates offered 2022: May 23–27, Jul 4–8, Sep 5–9, Oct 3–7
No need to plan anything ahead for this project. Choose your colors here, and design as you wind the blanket on the mill. This process frees you up to use lots of colors and stripes with no need for math! The basket weave structure keeps your time for threading and weaving to a minimum and produces a thick and luxurious blanket everyone will want to wrap themselves up in.
Choose a width
100 cm
= 500 ends on 250 heddles
120 cm
