Final presentation of the best samples from the blanket, felted and finished
The sample blanket was set up with three sections of warp, each section with a different threading and a different fiber; cotton, rayon and wool. The weft yarns are mostly wool, but there are some cotton and synthetic yarns as well.
I chose to go with mostly wool wefts because my end goal was for a thick, warm, heavy-duty fabric. Once I felted the blanket that is what I got, with some of the samples shrinking as much as 4 inches, they were practically bullet proof.
My desired end use for these fabrics would be that they were made into a blanket, pillows or bags. I wanted them to be heavy-duty so they could withstand heavy everyday use
