Aurora Blanket

As winter approaches and the skies darken earlier, the Aurora Alerts App seems to ping more and more: this was the inspiration for the Aurora Blanket back in Autumn.  It has been an amazing winter for sighting the Northern Lights:  standing out in the cold night air, if you wait long enough and use a slow shutter speed on the camera, it is possible to get amazing shots here on Mull.

Available in two variations, both have a Hebridean and Moorit warp with stripes of dyed yarn in blue, yellow and green shades = these were dyed using woad, tansy and onion skins.  The weft for both is Shetland wool, but the lighter option has pure Shetland white and the darker option has Shetland grey.

A lovely soft blanket or throw, with a distinctive small diamond pattern and a brushed finish.

Approx 180cm x 150cm plus fringes
