This striking throw will become the centerpiece of any room. Knit in warm and sustainable Fancy Tiger Crafts Heirloom Romney yarn, this throw is an heirloom that can be used and enjoyed for years to come. Our US raised, milled and hand-dyed Romney wool is a lustrous woolen spun yarn that will look as good years down the road as the day it comes off your knitting needles. The throw is large enough for two, but you could easily make it half the size by cutting everything in the pattern by two for a sweet little lap blanket.

Heirloom Chevron Throw uses 6 colors and a series of increasing and decreasing to create a luxurious, color-blocked chevron blanket. This throw allows you to pick the perfect color combo to go with your decor. The bold design of the throw will be an amazing piece in your bedroom or living room. Use the throw to add a pop of color while showing off your crafty skills!

You won’t be able to resist cuddling in this thing. Heirloom Chevron Throw is knit in cushy garter stitch so it is reversible and oh-so-squishy! This throw is large at 52” x 74” so 2 people can easily cuddle together under it. It also knits up relatively quick with no purling and on size 10 needles.
