You can never have enough blankets in winter! We snuggle up with them on the sofa or use them to have that extra warmth on the bed. They even join us on the balcony or in the garden for a quick get away from the four walls of our house. Basically, they’re like unique friends.

Today we’re going to learn how to make a thick-striped, coloured blanket. A classic made unique by using Piuma yarn, that is, a slightly twisted extra fine merino wool roving. The chunkiness and softness of the striped blanket go beyond blissfulness, try it for yourself!

Let’s get started.
