The next blanket, #196, is a light one with white and pastel colours. I decided to add this Lister Tahiti mohair, random coloured white beige dark brown, and it does not really fit. But it used up quite a lot of the yarn. The white yarns will never run out. I come across more and more.
This time I unravelled a cardigan, large white Esprit in the 1980s oversized aran knit style that is becoming fashionable again. I bought it because of the yarn, an aran weight unplied wool. This is so useful as background in the blankets giving them stability. I used to buy them - garments in this type of yarn, especially Jigsaw did some nice ones - but with buying less I gave up. I couldn't resist this one because of the low price. Unravelling was a dream.
