Baby blanket beautifully handspun, handwoven and dyed by Doe Arnot and designed by me (with the help of Doe)! The edges are hand crocheted. They make a wonderful gift.
I wanted to create some very soft and warm baby blankets with Doe who I met in Ōamaru a couple of years ago. Do visit The Textile Emporium if you are heading there. Right next door I bought a second hand book on weaving. These blankets came about from that book and our meeting.
The browns are Haunui wool, undyed. The other colours are Haunui that has been overdyed.
