Designed by Judith Shangold and knit with Manos del Uruguay Clasica **
This blanket is made of 12 blocks, where each block measures 13” x 13” (pre-blocking). Four different approaches
are shown - “Fall”, “Winter”, “Spring” and “Summer”, but these are only a few of the myriad possibilities
available to you. ** The size of the blanket can be altered by working in heavier- or lighter-weight yarns. For instance, if you use a yarn that knits at 3.5 sts = 1 inch, the finished measurement of the throw will be 44 1/2” x 59” / 111.25 x 147.5 cm. Likewise, thinner yarns knitted at a tighter gauge will produce a smaller throw.
Note: Crochet hook is only necessary if adding the crochet edging instead of the fringe (or to weave in ends). This is a 14 page booklet.
Authenticity. Heritage. Organic. Fair Trade. Family Owned. Local. Independent. All these words are compelling to us, not only as fiber fans, but as members of a community.
Since 1978 the Ball & Skein has been in the town of Cambria and we’re delighted to continue bringing you the best values and highest quality products from the US and around the world that reflect our shared values. We appreciate all of your support and kindness as we work to provide the best experience we can.
Manos del Uruguay, around since 1968 is a certified Fair Trade yarn owned by the women that work as artisans in the cooperatives. Purchases of their yarn directly address their ability to remain in their villages and support their families.
Berroco and Jagger are multi generational New England companies that each have over 100 years of experience in the yarn world.
Trendsetter was started by Barry Klein and his mother over 30 years ago. They not only source some of the most beautiful and unique yarns largely from Italy, they also bring us Cardiff Cashmere, spun in a small, family mill that only spins cashmere.
Prism, Mountain Colors, and Mrs Crosby are more examples of small, independent hand dyers we’re delighted to carry in the shop.
Addi needles and Brittany needles are more multi-generation stories that, in our opinion, bring the quality and value that is unsurpassed in the industry.
In the shop we have over a ton of yarn as well as a million stories. We're delighted to continue this tradition for fiber fans everywhere.
Thank you for your support.
Kris, Oz, and the whole Ball & Skein family.
