JR30: Pinwheel Color and Weave Lap Robe

Materials & Technique: Pattern: Strickler #61 color & weave. Fiber content: crinkle (boucle) cotton, 8 dark, 8 light (burgundy, rose) warp and weft. Loom used: LeClerc Nilus 16-shaft floor loom. Sett: 8 epi, also 8 ppi

Description: I received a contribution of lovely cotton “crackle” (boucle) yarn in 2 colors and immediately thought: Pinwheels! I had enough yarn to make both a lap throw and full sized bed blanket. The hand is comforting, and the colors appeal to me, as well as the geometry of the color & weave repeats.
