Base yarns are usually wool, wool+cotton, or a mohair blend.
Wool drapes the best. The prices suggested are using one of these yarns.
If you have the money and the inclination to use alpaca or something of that
price range, I would have to run the numbers differently, as those kinds of
yarns vary tremendously with what is available. There also maybe some
color restrictions, as they are rarely dyed very bright colors. However, a
blanket like the Oregon Winter would work well for alpaca, because the base is
taupe-brown and the brights are all the materials of the universe!
Crocheted blankets stretch! But
our best guess in terms of
size is as follows:
 | Throw, or Nine Square, ~ 60" x 60". This is the smallest
adult blanket we carry. It is a bit bigger than most standard throws, and is
sure to keep you warm on a cool night. PRICE
RANGES FROM $750-$900. |
| Double, or Twelve Square, ~55" x 70". This size will cover
the top of a double bed, but not hang over the edges. It makes a nicer throw
for someone who wants to cover up completely when they snuggle into a chair or
the couch, or for a larger woman or man. This is Debra's favorite size.
PRICE RANGES FROM $950-$1150 |
| Queen, or 16-Square, 70" x 70". This is wonderful over a
double bed, and hangs down a bit over the side. It will just cover the top of
a Queen. It is a bit big to be a throw. Better for a bedroom or a slipcover.
PRICE RANGES FROM $1200-$1450 |
| Super-King, or 25-square, approx 85" x 85". If you
are going to use this as a blanket on a king bed, go the extra for the
25-square. It not only goes to the edges of the bed side to side, but
will do the job of covering a tall man and he won't be stealing covers from
you! A great wedding gift! PRICE RANGES FROM $1800-$2500 |

Heirloom and yet useable infants blankets
need to be washable and not scratchy, which limits the materials that can be
used. Soft baby wools, cottons, and soft hemps are good base materials. The
hand-tied materials are also less wild -- metallics, etc. -- because they are
usually not reliably washed as often as one wants to wash a baby's blanket,
and are also scratchy. Infants blankets are 9-squares, but the squares are
smaller than adult squares. Pale baby colors, pale blue base for boys and
pale pink as a base for girls, is common. Pale yellow or sea green is
good if you don't know. Kids, even babies, like bright colors too,
though, so we should discuss the colors. PRICE RANGES FROM $350-450 |
