"Afghan, Blanket, Throw, Lapghan - Pinks, White & Green. Hand Made 58""x37"

Beautiful handmade crochet throw in a geometric 'Wheel' design. Comprising of 35 individual squares crocheted together, matching shades of numerous yarns have been blended to create muted colours set against a white background within a teal/turquoise border. Made from a minimum of 50% recycled yarn (acrylic & wool). It has been washed (prior to despatch) on a wool cycle at 30 degrees, with a gentle spin & air dried, & is fully colour fast & double sided, although the motif pattern is different on the reverse. 58 x 37 (147 cms x 94cms) 1.25kg (2lb 12oz) For more than 50 years I have recycled unwanted knitwear. First I wash the intact item, then I pull it out & wind it into skeins. It is then hand washed (to remove the 'crinkles'). The multi tonal effect, that is prevalent throughout my work, is achieved by combining 2 or more of the recycled yarns together, until I have a colour that I am happy with. What started as a means of providing an extra income when I was a cash strapped student has evolved into a way of life, & I have lost count of the number of throws, jumpers, cardigans, toys & rugs that I have made using this technique. Certainly, it is many hundreds! And, because the source items are inexpensive or donated, It also allows me to offer this item for a very reasonable rate...and free P & P within the UK!
