Product description
A really fun knitting kit for beginner or experienced knitters - knit your own giant blanket in the stitch and size of your choice!
If you've ever wanted to try Giant Knitting then now is your chance!
The Kit includes:
- Giant Merino Wool in the colour of your choice
- 35mm Circular Needles
- instructions on how to process your blanket once it's been knitted up (further details below)
I hand process each of my blankets and have developed an at-home version for you to use in a bath tub or other large container
Important information -
Tension - Tension is vital when it comes to knitting, Unspun wool is wonderful to work with but can be pulled apart relatively easily so keep your tension quite loose.
Everyone is different - Due to the way we all knit, every blanket will come out slightly differently. If you're after the exact same blanket you've seen in a picture, it's probably best to just buy that blanket. If you're up for creating something of your own then this kit is the answer and you will have a ball!
Variations
Select the amount of wool you'd like from 1kg to 10kg depending on how big you want your blanket to be - Please see the graphic in the images explaining how much yarn for what size blanket.
If you would like guidance on how much wool to buy to create a certain sized blanket feel free to get in touch. Please do bear in mind that all calculations and measurements are approximate as each is so dependant on the knitter.
You can choose from a range of 32 colours and the instructions include 4 different stitch options (of course if you're a knitting pro you can knit whatever stitch takes your fancy!)
Stitch options included - Moss, Stockinette, Single Rib and Double Rib Stitch
Dimensions
1kg of wool knits approximately 0.5 Square meters of blanket therefore 2kg is approximately 1 metre squared etc
Please note that due to a number of factors such as knitting tension this varies from person to person and is a guideline.
Made from
Wool, 100% Merino
Needles, 100% Pine wood
Merino wool is amazing to work with, and is available in a huge range of colours, it's a luxuriously soft wool that is beautiful on the skin.
Care Instructions:
These are natural products made from un-spun wool which means pilling may occur. Pulling is a natural result of friction so the more you use the blanket, the more it will wear - Just like if you have a nice woollen jumper you would avoid wearing it all day, every day, so that it can have a longer lifespan.
When cared for properly, unspun wool blankets can have long lifetimes and keep you cosy for years.
Spot clean any spills, dry clean when necessary and trim any pilling accordingly.
