Security Blankets and African Trade Bead Bracelets for the Children, and a Scarf for their Nurse.
As you have notice that there are two different sizes of blankets. The eco-dyed blanket on top was the size that I used to weave the blankets in. The larger ones below is me moving from my 45" floor loom to the 60" one. From now on, all the blankets/throws that I weave for market and the children will be this new size.
