Why you shouldn't knit that chunky roving blanket you saw on Pinterest

We explain why it's not the best idea to knit that cute chunky roving blanket you saw on Pinterest. If you're a knitter you probably know what we're talking about, every few months people will share images of super squishy bulky blankets knitted out of wool roving.

Emily knitted up some swatches with merino roving and US50 needles and leaves them on her couch for a month to demonstrate how these roving blankets will really wear with time. We have images of the swatches at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month. In addition we put one of the swatches through the washer and dryer (laundry accidents can happen even in a knitters home!). We even let a puppy have a go at one of the swatches.

This is our PSA to try and save the wool. If you want a super chunky blanket, try buying super bulky yarn, holding multiple yarns together, or spinning a super chunky yarn of your own!
