Surplus is created from an army surplus woven and felted woolen blanket. We’ve trimmed it all around with Ultra™ Alpaca in a simple blanket stitch and then a crocheted edging of Memoirs™. Simply cut slits for the armholes and attach sleeves knit in Trilogy™ and voila, you have an ultra stylish wrap blanket coat. It’s perfect travel outerwear for the cold winter months.
