After months and months of delaying this blanket due to heat I have finally finished! I dyed the wool using my technique which you can find here. The unique nature of each ball of wool plus the spiral pattern of the blanket creates something totally random and awesome! I added a fringe because fringes are cool haha

Colour Love: Forest

These colours remind me of all the colours of the forest and sky and work so well together! The bright green really stands out as the dominate colour and the grey really adds another dimension.

Colour Love: Happy Rainbow

Rainbows are the best! This is a different take on the old traditional concept of the rainbow. The colours used are warm without being too bright, and are ideal for a range of projects. Add white or black inbetween stripes or for the border and you’ll have yourself a great coloured blanket!

 

Colour Love: Summertime

Summer is all about sunshine and the beach! I’ve mixed blues, yellows to create this fun, happy, and bright colour mix. This colour recipe would be great for all sorts of projects but I could really see it as a ripple blanket for a baby. Add white or cream to make the colours stand out or as the border!
