Nice radio snippet by WBGO Radio our Blanket Project! Laura Chandler of Smiling Dog Farm was the coordinator that made this happen – thanks to her and all the participants!
The NJ Fibershed Blanket features a unique and modern design with three solid color sections representing the three regions of New Jersey: North, Central, and South Jersey. The gradual transition between color blocks is a playful nod to the fundamental New Jersey debate of where, exactly Central Jersey starts and ends. The nine lines in the transition represent the nine farms who contributed wool to the project. Two versions will be available – one with a white background and one with a grey background.
The NJ Fibershed Blanket measures 78″ x 58″ (2m x 1.47 m) and weighs 2.5 lb (1.13 kg). The price for the blanket is $325, and are available for sale! Please contact any of the participating farms below to order a blanket:
