BERNAT Baby Boucle' is a Bulky yarn. The skein was 10.5 ounces and approximately 546 yards. It is 97% acrylic and 3% polyester. The warp is 100% cotton. I think this should wash & wear very nicely. The color is "water slide" and it looks like water in the Caribbean somewhere. Nice shades of blue, hint of purple and green. It is beautiful and looks like you're on the beach somewhere.
I originally put about 30 yards of warp on the loom. I've made dishtowels, a rug, and now this baby blanket. I'm about to the end and then I can change warp, yeah! I've probably got enough warp to do one more blanket or rug on it so I'm not sure how much longer this blanket will be on the loom but it is finished except for cutting and fringe twisting the ends. I love my fringe twister.
In my Handwoven magazine this month they are talking about double weaving. You can actually weave twice the width on your loom. I'm excited about trying that. Has anyone else tried it? How did it go for you?
This baby blanket is finally off the loom and measures 33" x 38". I am asking $40 for it. It turned out lovely.
