In the winter, someone asked me if I would weave a blanket for her daughter from two old wool blankets. Some friends dropped the blankets off here and I finally got around to tackling it. The edges of one of the blankets was threadbare so it did not felt as much as I had hoped.
Even so I am very pleased with the result, very excited actually. Processing and cutting a blanket is a tad easier than processing and cutting a dozen or two sweaters.
cutting, or scissoring as I like to call it
two blankets, one pale green, the other, yellow, beige and green
the finished rug, I have left the blanket tags on, but will remove them for the customer. I want her daughter to see what the rug was made from

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this!!! I think it is kinda neat to have the tags on it; adds an interesting little break in the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Did you use any special equipment for this, or a simple finger weaving?
ReplyDeleteI used an upright tapestry loom, that I converted to weave with rag.
