Check out my Traveler's Blanket Pattern! https://rubyandrosesyarn.com/products...

Washing and blocking are essential parts of the knitting process, and not as straightforward as they sound either. Typically, a large project like my Traveler's Blanket would be steam blocked to avoid stretching the stitches due to water weight. I decided that it was time to bust this myth once and for all by taking on the challenge of wet blocking a 7ft blanket myself!

In this vlog, I take you along on my stressful journey, and provide tips and tricks along the way for the best ways to wash and block hand dyed yarn! Stick around to the end to see if it is really possible to wet block a blanket without ruining it!

See the bottom of this description for my 8 palettes crafted specially for the travelers blanket pattern!
