Yes, it is beautiful, but as a knitter (60 years) and a spinner, I do not recommend making this. Not only is roving incredibly expensive, roving was not meant to be knitted as it has no structure and will fall apart in due time. Also, roving will not stand up to washing or pets. If one does wish to make such a blanket, consider a very chunky yarn in form of acrylic or superwash wool instead.
I made this blanket and its SUPER easy and the directions were easy to follow as well. I’ve never done any type of knitting before this. I absolutely love my blanket!
I have to say that you were born to teach! You explain everything beautifully and for the first time in my life, I am motivated to make a blanket! Thank you! I will let you know how it goes!
You are so kind-this comment just made my day!:) Thanks so much for watching and for being so encouraging-it really means the world to an amateur like me!:)
Like many of the comments I see listed, the wool is soooo dang expensive. I went on a hunt to find something more comparable that doesn't break the budget, and there is yarn I found at Michael's that works well. It's by Loops & Threads, their Free Spirit yarn. When on sale at Michael's, I got it for $25 per skein. I just made this blanket yesterday with that yarn and followed this tutorial. I used 4 total skeins, and I did 20 stitches instead of 18. I just had to felt each skein together which wasn't difficult. It turned out so beautiful! I want another reason to make more since it was actually pretty fun
Yeah I just need to know where I can send the photo to. It ended up being like an oversized individual throw. I'm sure two people can cuddle under it as well.
Found your video today. You are a great teacher. Easy to follow instructions and understand which is a big plus for someone hard of hearing. I used to crochet and knit a lot. Not to much anymore. I may give this one a try. Don't think it will bother my carpal tunnel. Thank you again for taking the time to make the video.
My mom use to crochet and she made me and my sister hats scarves & blankets etc. when we were growing up. She tried to teach us but we just were not interested. I regret that. So now since you are such a great teacher I will learn how to knit.. thanks 😊
You are so kind! Thanks so much for watching and for your encouraging comment! I'm definitely an amateur and am just learning as I go with filming, so that is such encouraging feedback!:)
For those of us who can't afford this wool, the dollarama where I live just started selling really thick wool (I think it's actually acrylic) and it's $4 a roll. I think I'm going to use this method to make a rug for Christmas :) Thanks for the tutorial!
I am enjoying all your videos, Anja! I used the Michael’s Loops and threads, 4 skeins for $67 on sale. The project turned out well but it will be used for “show” only on a queen bed because the yarn sheds like crazy. It measures approximately 40” by 76”, longtail cast on of 21 stitches. I would like to make a wool roving blanket and did this less expensive one for practice. I read most of the comments and would say that before doing something like this, make sure you watch many videos and do research on felting roving wool. All of Anja’s videos were helpful and she has a couple on felting. I saw that someone spent $300 and didn’t like the result. Please don’t give up; I would take it apart and felt your yarn to make it much stronger and will shed less. I have learned as a knitter that tinking (unknitting) is part of the process of getting a good end result in knitting. Michael’s Loops and Threads will not need to be felted because it is polyester, acrylic and wool. Laurie
You made it seem so easy. Thank You Very Much for Sharing this tutorial. I we make this blanket with a much thinner yarn? I think I’ll try this will come back and share how I did. Thanks again God Bless🙏🏻
This is beautiful.. yrs ago i got into knitting and got out just as fast . I luv these types of blankets and they are expensive. I never thought about making my own ,but this video has encouraged me . I really enjoy doing crafts . Hopefully i can start this soon lol
I just used this tutorial to knit a blanket with polyester yarn by Yarn Bee from Hobby Lobby. These are amazing instructions that were super easy to follow. I achieved the desired results and this is only my second time to knit. Thank you for your great tutorial and I really enjoyed your instruction style. Hope to find a good deal on wool so I can make another!
I was just given a bag of this huge yarn and I thought I would try this (knitting) as opposed to crocheting a blanket. Thanks for your video. It was very clear and you explained this process very well. I would love to know where you got your felting tools. I had never even thought of doing this because I've always stuck to "small" (regular sized) knitting needles and/or crochet hooks. Thanks for the video.
I'm definitely making my girls these for Christmas gifts , they are so hard to buy for , but they would love this blanket made by mom !! Thank you so very much ! God bless ,I will send you a pic to your face book like you asked thanks again , well worth it THELL have them forever ,and the fact that mom made them ! Great idea .
Oh my goodness, how am I just seeing this lovely comment now?? This made my day!!😍😍 Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your kind words! I know your girls will LOVE a blanket made by you!😍 That’s such a wonderful gift! And I’d LOVE to see photos after you make them!😍 If you have any questions about the process, always feel free to send me a message! And I’ll try to respond way faster, oh my goodness! Sometimes the comments pile up and I have a hard time keeping up! But I genuinely appreciate them all!!😍
Peony and Thyme thank you for you kind and beautiful words you sent in your msg , i sure will send you a picture when im done , your channel was the best your so helpful in showing how its done your a sweet heart ! From Canada
Ahh! Thanks so much!! This seriously made my day! So glad you found your way to our happy, little corner of the internet here! I hope you just have the best day!🙌🏻😍
Free Spirit- By Loops And Threads (Exclusive To Michaels) Is A Reeeeeally Good Yarn To Use For This Project And Michaels Always Has 40-55% Off Coupons So Its Much Easier On Your Pockets
Oh that makes me SO happy to hear!!😍 Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comment! Always feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions!😊
That blanket is a stunner! You did such a beautiful job and you taught me something new. I have always knit off and on, but I did not know what "felting" was. It makes total sense, and I imagine it is what manufacturers do with their knit products, only by machine. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I love this so much. I purchased 8 pounds or merino wool to try to do this but not only can I not fit 18 stitches on my arm so they are even but my tail is not getting shorter! Even though I’ve slowed your speed down and have taken it apart several times I can’t seem to get it right. I’m thinking about getting a thick rod of some sort to use as an arm. I think I’m twisting loops wrong to. I’m not giving up though because I am making this as a gift for my daughter for Xmas.
Thank you for this awesome instruction, and for keeping it short. I'm sure your blanket is of superior quality, and some day i'l make one for myself. However, for the more frugal bunch like me, just tonight I went to Michael's and bought two skeins of yarn at $34.99 each, and got the third one for free - that's not expensive at all. Since each skein is 54 yards of a BEAUTIFUL, super SOFT like Merino wool rose color, that would make me a decent size throw, at a total of 162 yards. There are so many GORGEOUS muted and natural colors to choose from as well. Since the blanket that I want to make requires 142 yards, I'll have plenty of yarn to possibly make it tad bigger!!! Today is January 3rd, so even if I make one blanket per month, I'll have plenty of beautiful handmade throws to give as a Christmas gift in December to about 12 people. Have fun!!! 😊👍👍
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching and for this awesome comment!😍 I just discovered the giant yarn at Michael’s at Christmas and am SO EXCITED to try them all!😍 It’s so wonderful to have some more economical options! I’d love to see photos of your blankets if you’re on Instagram! I’m sure they will be gorgeous!😍
I like your video best. The felting looks fairly easy. I feel a little more confident I can make one for my mother-in-law as a Christmas gift. Ty for your video
What an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS BLANKET!!!! Who KNEW that I can knit with my arms! Seriously,,,, I’m SO going to order my yarn! I really like this pewter color, too! I loved how crystal clear you made during this tutorial Cannot wait to see if you have any oversized/off the shoulder sweater tutorial.
Nice video. Very helpful. Thank you! I chose to use a less expensive yarn - just as it's your choice to use a nicer yarn. Btw - your hands are perfect, your hair is perfect and your beautiful yarn is perfect. Don't read the negative comments. =)
Cindy! Oh my goodness, this just made my day. Thanks so much for bringing such a positive presence to the youtube community-it really means the world!:) I hope you loved your blanket project!!:)
@@PeonyandThyme I did!! My first attempt and your instructions were great! I am not creative or crafty at all and would never had attempted this without your video! I actually bought the nice yarn to make a blanket for my daughter in law. Thanks again. Enjoy your holidays.
For people complaining about cost of Merino wool, one of the softest natural fibers out there, versus an acrylic blend you can find at Michael’s...the point of these giant merino blankets is that they are luxurious. Luxury isn’t cheap. More power to you if you can find an acrylic blend at Michael’s that serves your purpose, also.
Aw, thank you so much for watching and for your wonderfully kind comment!💕 I hope you have SO much fun making your blanket! Warning-knitting with giant yarn is addicting!!😂😍😍
You did a excellent job with clear and easy instructions , it would be nice if you could make a video showing us how to incorporate different colors as well... thanks so much 🤩
Oh my gosh, you have no idea how much this compliment means!💕 Thank you so much for watching and for taking time to leave such a kind comment! If you ever decide you want to try knitting a giant yarn project and need any help, always feel free to send me a message at peonyandthyme@gmail.com - I always love chatting giant yarn!😁💕
Oh my gosh, this made my day!! Thanks so much for watching and for the encouraging comment-it really means the world! I hope you love making this project as much as I did!:)
Wow! This was such a great tutorial! Thank you! You have the gift of teaching, you really covered everything I would have been confused about and made it very clear. Now I can finally do this project with confidence.
another video showed doing a double alternating between knit and purl stitches, i think thats called a rib stitch? I picked up some merino wool for my project, do you suggest any specific pattern/knit style for working with wool and having it be a nice fluid blanket for getting cozy? I dont want to end up something stiff.
Jennifer Colyar Aw thank you! And I don’t have one where I incorporate other colors yet! But funny you should ask, because I’m actually working on a pattern right that uses two colors-haha! I’m hoping to release it in the next month.😄
Hi Anja, We do have a small bed (150x200 cm) and I plan to knit a blanket to cover it nicely. Probably, I would need more length to cover also the pillows. Could you please advise on the followings: 1, Should I buy 2 yarns? 2, How many cm I should leave for the tail? 3, Instead of 18 stitches how many stitches should I do for the first row? Many thanks for your video! It is a great motivation 🌷😘
Yes, it is beautiful, but as a knitter (60 years) and a spinner, I do not recommend making this. Not only is roving incredibly expensive, roving was not meant to be knitted as it has no structure and will fall apart in due time. Also, roving will not stand up to washing or pets.

so, what might you recommend for a thick yarn to make a blanket like this?

I love the way she does her blanket, leaving it flat makes it look so less complicated
This was the easiest tutorial I have seen thus far. I do not feel intimidated about taking this project on now. Thanks

How big was your blanket I just saw the yarn you bought at tbe store yesterday but didn't know how many i would need
Can you send me a photo of how yours turned out. I was debating getting that yarn
Yeah I just need to know where I can send the photo to. It ended up being like an oversized individual throw. I'm sure two people can cuddle under it as well.

Girl you’ll need to spend 100$ and all different colours to even have enough yarn to do such a project, the amount we get for the 4$ is not a lot

Hello. How much yarn did you use for your blanket? How big of a blanket did you get?
When you made your blanket with polyester yarn how much/many yards did you use ?

Hi Anja I’m AnYa from Canada same name and I’m an art nerd who wears glasses too ; ) love the grey lavender colour
Thank you for this great demo!
thanks for the video. Despite it being an expensive project, how would you wash it with out it felting?
must be dry cleaned only.
theonlypinky Ok, but dry clean is still a wet wash and I would not like all those chemicals on a wool blanket.
made my first blanket! thanks bbg
