Having a great time today in the studio with my loft-mate. Ames Hall weaves these unbelievably soft merino blankets. Full or Queen size and always (so far) natural colors from locally raised sheep. Processed and spun to his specs.... Anyway, he was in his studio busy at work on the AVL loom that is just simply ... well....HUGE! (would have to be huh, to weave blankets that large)...
If you want to visit his website here it is http://www.fortnerhall.com/home.html .
Given the fact that this is all hand done from start to finish, these are a steal...save your money and get one of these heirloom quality blankets.....jeez I sound like a promotional piece...oh well.... they are just too cool, and I can walk into his studio and feel them any time I want....lucky me huh?
He sold my favorite last night during First Fridays... a wonderful chocolate brown waffle weave beauty. Perhaps I can talk him into doing another one like it when the loom is warped up with the next color.... it's called Twig...and it's sorta kinda like a warm grey...sorta.......you've got to see it to understand.
me?...I am reeling off 15 pounds of neverending superwash sock yarn. MAJOR Dye Days coming up, and I'm definitely in prrroooooduction mode!
It is certainly good to have a friend in the next room to distract me once in a while....
