Double Width Log Cabin Blanket

Double Width Log Cabin Blanket

This cozy Log Cabin throw is woven using a double width technique, allowing a full-size blanket to come off a relatively narrow loom—with no seaming required. As the fabric opens off the loom, the transformation feels nothing short of magical, revealing a beautifully balanced Color-and-Weave pattern across the full width of the cloth.

Woven with rustic Mallo Cotton Slub, the thick-and-thin texture adds depth, warmth, and a wonderfully tactile hand, making this blanket an instant heirloom. The classic Log Cabin structure invites creativity, and the pattern lends itself beautifully to endless color variations—perfect for weaving again and again with a fresh palette each time.

Pattern downloads include instructions for both rigid heddle and shaft looms, making this an exciting challenge for experienced weavers ready to explore advanced techniques and dramatic results.

This kit is different from our standard weaving kits. Instead of pre-measured yarn amounts, you’ll receive full-size cones of each color used in the pattern. This means you may have extra yarn beyond what the project requires—perfect for weaving additional fabric or exploring your own variations.

The kit price reflects the inclusion of full-size cones and the expanded creative possibilities they offer.
