I’ve had this batt of angora/merino in my stash for a couple of years now.  I had dyed the wool when I bought it, (chemical dyes) and meant to use it long ago.  Finally I pulled it out and made this sweet baby rug.  It is sooooo soft.  I put a piece of cotton gauze in the middle to add strength and keep to keep the piece light weight.  The design is inspired by Ottoman Turkish art of the 16th century.009
