I LOVE this. I took a sewing class about a year ago and have wanted to do something with wool. I am definitely a beginner, but this is so lovely that it has inspired me. I also love the look and just bought my first home. I can picture this on my bed or on the back of my sofa. Thanks so much for posting!

I’d like to know how you stopped the wool from unraveling after cutting and before they were sewn together. I plan on cutting up an irregularly shaped wool blanket and then piecing it together again to make a rectangular blanket for a bed. i believe it was made using a loom-will this be problematic when cutting? Thanks, Shawna

I just loved your pics of your sweater blanket, knew some 4-leggeds would have to contribute! Been kicking around that idea for a while now, and just picked up some sweaters from the thrift store today to start this fab project. So- some of them were not all wool, some were cotton-y and soft mixed wool blends.
Wondering how this’ll turn out, i’ll send you a pic when i’m done! Thanks for sharing. Monica

How do you stop the sweaters from unraveling when they’re cut into squares? Does the felting stop that?

Great blanket! I just scored a bunch of 100% wool sweaters today at Goodwill’s 1/2 price sale. They’re felting now. I’m not sure if I have enough for a blanket. I was thinking small bags and totes, not a blanket, but yours is such an inspiration that I NEED TO MAKE ONE TOO! Question, I don’t have a cat, will that be a problem when laying out the pieces? Ha!
