Tartan Blanket

I love September weather.  Here in the Pacific Northwest the warm and sunny days can change to chilly with the slightest breeze or shadow.  I can’t think of a better way to extend outside time than to curl up in a soft wool blanket and just enjoy being outside.  This plaid blanket was woven using sock wool.  Sock wool is a merino wool with a touch of nylon.  Like socks, it can be washed in the washer on cold water and hung or laid flat to dry.  Merino wool is a breed of sheep from the Castille region of Spain and is regarded as having some of the finest and softest wool of any sheep.  This blanket is hand dyed and handwoven for a light but warm wrap with a soft drape.
