Re: Ingrain Carpet/Carpet Blanket discussion
i was able to pick up two scarps of ingrain carpeting from pat at FHW, 2 pieces 72"x 6' (maybe shorter) of the Appomattox pattern and i gotta say they are absolutely stunning!and all said and done shipped for $90! the wool is gorgeous, it is however 3ply and thus very heavy and thick. now my only problem is trying to figure out if sewing the two halves together is in fact too large to be used as a blanket roll. the ends on both need to be hemmed in some manner to keep them from fraying. and i am hoping a whip stitch is strong enough to hold the two halves together sturdly enough in the center.
Kindly,
Thomas B. Grott
