How to repair your blanket...
Many find the softness and comfort of our blankets irresistible, even those you wish would rather not!
As requested, here is a quick guide to fixing any snags and pulls caused by your loved ones.
A
Forget worrying. It will happen the moment you leave the room, your beloved blanket will be claimed by all members of the family to snuggle on!
B
A classic snag - thanks Anna!
C
Take a large darning needle, first gently easy it through the loops (stitches) of the blanket, (pick the area with the same stitch colour as the snagged thread of course!). Following that, partially thread the snagged thread through the eye of the needle.
D
Gently slide the threaded needle along/through the selected loops/stitches, at the end give a little pull so that the needle comes out. Finally give the blanket a soft tug so that the end of the snagged thread is absorbed into the blanket structure.
All done!
