This listing is for the yarn only; the blanket has already been donated to a local charity. 100 yards of this yarn knitted on size 50 needles will make a baby blanket approximately 20 x 30 inches. On size 50 needles the stitch gauge is 1 stitch=1 inch
Garments made with this yarn may be gently hand washed in cool water with a soap formulated especially for wool such as Eucalan. Lay flat on a towel to dry.
