To say that I have enjoyed making this blanket is a bit of an understatement. I’ve LOVED making this.

It was made using 14 different colours of acrylic yarn, I’ve listed them at the end of this post. They symbolise the journey of hope of a new life by a refugee – over sea and land to peace, and that hopeful pot of gold.

It has been very difficult to photograph this blanket – the colours have not shown up well in any of my photographs. As you will see from the following list – they are far more vibrant than you might at first imagine!

The yarns used were a mix of Stylecraft Special DK and Scheepjes Colour Crafter – colours as follows:

For the purposes of Sixty Million Trebles I’ve calculated the number made in the blanket. There are 11664 trebles in the body of the blanket, and the simple border has 663 trebles. That makes a grand total of 12327 trebles which will be added to the total when it’s received by the charity. That won’t be for a while, though, because I plan to make another and send them both together. Watch this space….. I’m sure I’ll tell you about it.
