On knitting a breed-specific comforter - Part II

This is Part II because a Part I-Post already exists which explains the basic concept and the patterns used. Basically I had a bunch of breed-specific skeins of wool, so I sorted them by value and knitted them up to a blanket. The blanket now contains about 2700m of yarn from a total of seven different breeds. Some of the breeds I have already introduced in the Part I, some in my rare-breed tam, so I will not discuss the breeds in too much detail here. However, listed from light to dark, these are the breeds:
  1. Merino
  2. Weißes Bergschaf
  3. Coburger Fuchsschaf
  4. Merino
  5. Alpines Steinschaf & Jezersko-Solčava
  6. Merino
  7. Pomeranian Coarsewool
  8. Merino
  9. Merino
  10. Schwarzes Bergschaf
The blanket now is an excellent bed-spread and blanket and I love snuggling up under it in the early November frosts.


Formalities: 
  • Materials: breed-specific yarns (between 200 and 300m/100g),
  • Tools: 4.5mm knitting needles with extra long cable, darning need to weave in ends
  • Time: probably about 43 hrs
