Wool and the Gang | Almost Home Blanket Kit

The Almost Home blanket knitting kit is deceptively simple. You’ll achieve the intricate-looking texture with a simple combination of knit and purl stitches. This cosy and modern blanket will keep you warm on cool nights because it is made from Alpachino Merino, which is so snuggly and soft you may never want to leave your couch again. Your completed blanket will be 102cm x 142cm (40.2″ x 55.9″) at the stated gauge.

Alpachino Merino yarn brings together two of the silkiest fibres out there, merino and alpaca, in a chunky, gently twisted yarn that is soft and squishy.

What Comes With the Almost Home Blanket Knitting Kit

Who Do We Recommend the Almost Home Blanket Knitting Kit For?

If you have made a beginner project (or several) and are happy with the results, you are ready to make the Almost Home blanket knitting kit! This kit will teach you the pinwheel stitch, which is a stocking and reverse stocking stitch. If you already know the stitch, then prepare for a cruisey and relatively quick project!
