How to Keep Life Cosy on Cool Days

After creating some wonderful huck towels, Designer Malynda Allen wanted to weave blankets using a similar draft and materials. She needed baby blankets for gifts, so she put on a long warp threaded for huck, sampled tie-ups and treadlings, and wove several blankets. Then she realized she’d like throws made on the same warp, but dressed up with diagonally knotted fringe.

The result was the super cozy and delightfully soft throw that you see here, aptly named the Cuddle Up Throw and developed exclusively for the Fall 2025 issue of Handwoven.
