Namaqualand Blanket - Scheepjes Colour Crafter Velvet - Yarn Pack

This was an extremely special blanket to designer Dedri Urys of the popular   This blanket was inspired by the beautiful colours of the Namaqualand flowers and the memories that they evoke of the celebrations of Lentedag or 'Spring Day' in South Africa.  After making the original version of this blanket in Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn Dedri had always wondered how it would turn out in Scheepjes Colour Crafter Velvet.  Her good friend Pat made this version and it's looking beautiful!

Dedri has posted the free pattern for this fabulous square blanket on her blog,  and here you'll find all the details of how to make this yourself.  You'll also find lots more about the story behind the blanket and the flowers that inspired it.
