About this product:
Here's your chance to pick up a proper bargain! For a limited time only, buy neutral coloured balls of Ragged Life woollen blanket yarn for the absolute bargain price of only £5 / ball.
The catch? There isn't really one. It's the same top-quality blanket yarn we sell for £10 / ball across our website, only cheaper. The only caveat to this deal is that we've limited the offer to just 100 balls (so first come, first served) and you won't be able to specify the shade of neutral-coloured blanket yarn that you receive - hence the name "Mystery Neutral". It will be total pot luck whether you receive a grey, cream, navy, tan or other neutral and the photos in this listing are simply to illustrate the kinds of blanket yarns you may receive.
Please note: If you buy multiple "Mystery Neutrals", we will send a variety of shades unless specified in the comments box at checkout.
As per usual, the blanket yarns are sold individually in 250g balls. These balled up strips of blanket and scarf can be used for most techniques of rag rugging, including shaggy (proggy), short shaggy, loopy, peg loom weaving, locker hooking, weaving, twining and more... For a summary of the techniques of rag rugging, check out our "About" page here. This blanket yarn is ideal for making long-lasting rugs, sophisticated cushions and much more.
Why blanket yarn is great:
100% Wool Blanket Yarn has fast become one of our favourite materials to rag rug with for a number of reasons:
1) It's 100% wool, so is not only super soft, but also excellent quality. It's an absolute pleasure to work with, and any rug or cushion made in blanket yarn will last for generations.
2) Fabric yarn comes pre-cut into strips, which saves on cutting time. We recommend cutting the strips in half for ease of use and to make them go further, but that takes considerably less time than breaking down any item of clothing into strips.
3) It looks gorgeous when rag rugged. The texture and depth of colour is just lovely. Don't believe us, check out our Blanket Yarn Inspiration Blog Post here.
4) It's sustainable. Blanket yarn is the selvedge strips from blanket and scarf production in Yorkshire, so you can rest assured that every ball you use is less wastage going to landfill.
5) It goes far. Blanket yarn is thick, which means that it covers the hessian much quicker than most fabrics. This means that you can rag rug further apart and your rag rug creation will be done in no time.
