Woven baby blanket in blue and white brushed cotton and lambswool., measuring 22 x 26 inches.
When designing Claire Whelan always aims to appeal to both men and women equally, making her whole range gender neutral. Having a particular interest in colour and the psychological attachments that it provokes within the human mind, she is driven to find the perfect woven colour combinations.
With a highly developed understanding of natural materials, dyeing and hand weaving techniques, Claire brings wonderfully rich combinations of pattern and colour to her art.
Each blanket takes 9 hours of dedicated weaving and finishing to complete.
