So this glorious but rather strange wool has been sitting in my cupboard for some years. I bought it without a specific project in mind, just 'cause it was funky. Its a med to heavy weight, has a fantastic woven pattern that's completely reversable- but is woven with holes in! So it'd be useless for a coat, not much good as a shawl and that purple doesn't suit me anyway. The best thing I can think of is to call it a blanket for the single guest bed. Thusly I've popped a satin binding on the ends* and moved it from the fabric cupboard to the linen cupboard. It's not very wide, but I think it'd be a nice warm layer under a quilt or over another blanket.
oh and guess what? I've evicted a few bits of plastic fabric, made up this and the other recent projects- now there is room in the fabric cupboard! Hmm the fabric store still has a sale on but I shouldn't go there.
*cause it's pretty, that's what blankets have, I like stroking the satin and again, i shouldn't wear that colour. I used the same silk/cotton satin to bind the Queen of Hearts quilt.
