For this one I processed the wool from the fleece. Washing, carding, dying, spinning and weaving. I wanted an Old English color and it did turn out that way. Here is a picture on the loom:
Here it is finished
Here it is with the other one I had made. This time I serged the edge and hemmed it on the machine.
I was wondering about the yarn, I spun it and hard as I tried I could not get it to fall straight. Seems that the tension on the loom and/or the fulling did the trick.
I am quite happy with it.

Stunning! And I bet it's warm too!
I am SO impressed! They both look awesome and amazing. One day I will get a blanket done. :)
That's beautiful! And it looks so cozy! What kind of wool?
Very impressive!
Love those colors!
Lovely! I love those soft colors. If you keep this up with the handspun, maybe someday I'll be brave enough to try it too. :)
That's really beautiful. I love how it drapes and the colors are wonderful!
Your blanket is lovely. However do you crowd so much into a 24 hour day. Work, knitting, spinning, weaving...you are a marvel. I am continually amazed and impressed.
Wowza! That is gorgeous!
Hi Laritza! That's a dandy of a blanket!! You can FEEL how cozy it is just by looking at it.
Cheers, Jenny
