Big Enough for Two! Lamb's Pride Bulky is a chunky weight 85% wool / 15% mohair yarn from Brown Sheep. We've used seven colors of it here as both the warp and weft of a fantastic plaid blanket. It is woven in double weave, with two plain weave layers joined at one side. When you take the blanket off the loom, it opens like a book and you have twice the width! If you have hesitated to try this technique before, let us walk you through it. The kit makes one blanket with finished dimensions of approximately 62" x 69" plus fringe. It can be hand washed and dried flat or hung over a shower rod.
You will need: - 36" weaving width
- 4 harnesses
- 10 dent reed
- 352 heddles
- 1 boat shuttle (the larger the better)
- 7 bobbins
- tapestry needle
