Now that's a big blanket! But here's the surprise--you only need a 26" weaving width. It is made of three panels woven on the same warp. Two colors of Harrisville Designs' Highland are striped in the warp, set at 8 epi. The primary weft is Lamb's Pride Bulky, the single-ply wool/mohair blend from Brown Sheep. A contrast band is woven at the top of each panel in Highland. When the panels are joined, the band is a nice finish and a unifying element. The finished blanket is approximately 72" x 80". It can be hand washed and dried flat.

You will need:

• Highland: 6 skeins main color and 5 skeins contrast color
• Lamb's Pride Bulky: 14 skeins
• 26" weaving width
• 4 harnesses
• 8-dent reed
• 202 heddles
• large boat shuttle
• 2 bobbins

Our blanket uses Highland main warp color Loden Blue with Highland Russet (warp accent and the contrast weft band) and Lamb's Pride Bulky color 3 Grey Heather for the primary weft.
