Description

The biggest throw in the line, and close to a light bed blanket. All of the colour is the fleece itself: a brown-black ground off dark sheep and an ivory zigzag banding off white, with no dye anywhere in the cloth. The Los Ojos mill runs a heavier weft on this one than on the other three, so it drapes with some weight behind it. Warp ends are twisted in threes and tied off at 5 inches. 54 by 80 inches, 4 pounds. What changes over the years is the fleece itself, and it changes slowly. Air it in shade every few months. Cold hand wash when needed, dry flat, and no bleach of any kind.
