Hey all, just curious, what's the best way to make a blanket? Like a good sized one, 30x70 ish. Should I knit it? Make a loom? What's the best way to go about doing it? Does anyone have experience with textile stuff like this and can give advice?Thanks

>>2885872Knitting is a worthwhile hobby but it takes a bit of time to get it doneYou could try knitting a quilt as you can learn various stitches with each square and end up with the blanket you want. Keep at it and you might have it for end of year when it's cold again
>>2885872>1. Cut fabric to length>2. Do some sewing>3. ????>4. Profit!
>>2885872before you decide to weave you must spin the thread
>>2885872Quilting from scraps can be pretty fun and it’s cheap. $20 old sewing machine will do it fine
>>2885872Check out crochet. It needs more yarn than two needles knitting for the same surface, so the fabric will be thicker. And you'll not be constrained by the cable length, or the size of a loom. Also, keep in mind the material, plastic does not keep you warm like wool.
>>2885872Loom will give you a tighter weaveKnitting/crocheting can be a more interesting hobby then running a loomQuilting with scraps will be the easiest and pretty fun, but quality and aesthetics are going to be dependent on your scraps
