NEW: Macarla Blanket Crochet Kit
From: $559.65
Your kit includes access to the crochet-a-long starting on 17th June.
A fascinating texture combined with a unique construction means you won’t want to put your crochet hook down when you’re making your Macarla Blanket!
Down below you'll find everything that you need, and you can customise your kit to include what you want:
This blanket was inspired by lazy mornings in bed and family time on the lounge. Made with soft Australian Merino Wool, it feels snuggly and warm.
The stylish ribbed texture of this blanket is created by double crochet (US single crochet) stitches that are worked through the back loop of the stitch below. The ribbed lines of the border and the centre run perpendicular to each other, and the stitches on the edges of the blanket are worked through both loops to give the blanket structure and strength.
There’s something special about a chunky blanket, and the softness and warmth of your Macarla Blanket will wrap you and your family in love. I’ll show you exactly how to make it in the included online course (with left and right handed video tutorials)

I make all of the Homelea Lass kits by hand in the Homelea Lass studio. It’s located on a remote cattle property near Quilpie in south west Queensland, Australia. I use Australian made components whenever possible.

With love, Lynda.
