Do tell more! :) What kind of fiber, what color(s), what weave
structure, sett--all the details!
I finally made a handspun woven blanket a few years ago for DD--and I
hated every minute :) She insisted on black warp and moorit weft, which
really didn't work for me, and wouldn't allow any pattern other than
straight 2/2 twill. I sewed two panels together, and it's big enough to
cover a twin bed very generously--might do a double, in fact. I was
better pleased with it when done than I expected, but she just complains
it's too big <grrrr>
Even a spinner can be picky about handspun gifts, apparently!

who, when the last cat is gone, will start spinning a wool bedspread!
