This yarn pack designed by Lucy from Attic24 has been inspired by her daily walks along the canal tow path and the colourful narrowboats that travel the waterways.

She has chosen fifteen shades of Yarnsmiths Merino DK to create a beautiful striped blanket, capturing the jolly, playful colours of the boats with their decorative paint work and traditional canal art. Lucy will be sharing her blanket as a Crochet-A-Long on her Attic24 blog for those of you who would like to follow along.

One yarn pack will be enough to crochet a single bed sized blanket 4ft x 6ft. For a double/kingsize blanket you will need two packs.

This pack contains 30 balls of Yarnsmiths Merino DK (50g), 100% superwash merino wool, in the following shades:

• 3236 - Deep Ocean
• 3300 - Royal Blue
• 3250 - Light Turquoise
• 3230 - Teal
