I designed this blanket as a throw for my sister’s couch. I wanted the look of a jumbo yarn with the easy care of a washable wool that would stand up to my nephews. It needed to be able to be used to build a fort yet soft enough for sick days. With an attached i-cord edging, this blanket can be off your needles in a matter of hours and can hold up to plenty of use.
