Never say never

Silk/Flannel blankets were one of the first items that I ever made for sale. I guess it's sort of fitting they are the last things I've made for customers. I'm not saying that I'm never going to sew for others, but I'm definitely having a break. How long? I don't know.

I've always made two different styles of blanket. One is low water immersion dyed (LWI) This style isn't as visually striking as the tie dyed rainbow mandalas, but it's very lush. I use a sand wash silk for these blankets which is softer and suits the pastel mottled colours.



Then there is the bright, bold rainbow mandalas. The mandalas are dyed on a 12mm silk habutae.
