The story of special handwoven blanket

This is a story of a blanket I designed fresh off my loom, a promised gift for our son who graduated last year with his MA in engineering , Because he worked a full time job and had two very small toddlers I wove it large enough for his whole family to snuggle under on their sofa or bed. He could not have done it with out their support too, We are very proud of Mr J and to think you were  home schooled , just look at you now ...

my  hand dyed and hand  spun  art yarn 

The warp  yarns wound and chained waiting to be threaded , sleyed and beamed onto  the loom

 off the cloth beam a LONG weaving! how long? Really really long!

 Ready to be cut apart and sewn together

 WAITING FOR FRINGES TO BE TRIMMED

We love you MR J,  with or without  your degrees.But the most  important part  about your degree is that we admire your determination and perseverance to acomplish your set  goal. Love mum and dad. 

 PEACEFUL WEAVING
