| The Connecticut Blanket Project is sponsored by the Connecticut Sheep Breeders Association, Inc.. These aren't your old scratchy Army or Navy blankets, rather they are soft, warm blankets made each year from wool that is consigned by Association members. The wool is collected in early June, then delivered to the mill where it is washed, carded, and spun into yarn that is then woven into blankets. The blankets are usually finished and delivered by late fall. The pattern design on the blanket changes each year and the shade of gray varies depending on the quantity of dark fleeces consigned. We order King, Queen & Long Throw sizes as they are the most popular, however we can obtain other sizes from producers that ordered them. The long throw is great for covering up while watching television or another favorite use, throwing over the half of the bed of the person who always seems to be colder at night! There are about 325 blankets made each year and they all come with a numbered certificate that lists the Connecticut farms who made the blanket possible.. |
