This is a handwoven lap blanket my Mum made and gave to me – isn't it beautiful?
The yarns used are silk – wool – merino – possum and the colours range from a mossy green to a dark purple/blue, with iridescent, butterfly-wing-blue shot through. She also crocheted a wide green border at each end.
My current plan is to sneak it into my office in the city – there is a distinct lack of handweaving in there.
WOw what a beautiful rug. I adore the colours….a splash of coolness in the hot summer
