It’s done. Actually, I finished it last weekend, but I’m really behind on posts.

Here it is drying. I wet finished it by giving it a vigorous wash by hand to full it slightly and spinning it dry.

I was amazed at how fulled it was afterwards. Almost too fulled. All I did was stir and massage it a bit with my hands! Both yarns aren’t machine washable, and Vintage Hues practically felts when you look at it. Fortunately I still have some definition between the colours:

It’s a good size for a lap blanket, for keeping your legs warm while watching tv or using the computer.

    I love the colors! It looks thick like a rug, is it?

    Not as thick as a rug. More of a blanket thickness. But not as drapey as a shawl or wrap.
