An extra plush blanket woven with Mallo Cotton Slub Weaving Yarn in a densely textured waffle weave structure.
Sarah writes,"When I set out to design projects with Mallo, GIST's cotton slub yarn, a super cushy waffle weave was at the top of my list. The texture of Mallo makes this blanket extra soft and once it comes off your loom, everyone in the house is going to be fighting over who gets to cuddle with it. Weaving at 16 epi results in a very warm and dense finished piece of fabric -- you can also weave with a lower epi for something a bit airier.
I chose to make this project in all one color so that the beauty of the yarn and the weave structure truly shine through. Pick your favorite color of Mallo and have fun with this one!"
