Millstone Blanket
Worked in the round from the center out, the Millstone Blanket evokes the beautiful texture of working millstones with a slip-stitch pattern, then finished off with an i-cord bindoff. Contrast the rough-hewn texture with the soft warmth of Green Mountain Spinnery’s Mountain Mohair, which combines the luster of fine mohair with the bounce of fine wool for an excellent worsted weight yarn in a rainbow of colors.
