Brown Stripe Blanket

Another popular natural dye for the past two centuries has been the use of butternut hulls. This blanket has a soft brown stripe that would work well in any setting from the 1700's on. Woven of rayon, then brushed for a wool look. Dampening with water lets the rayon drape realistically on a bed or blanket stand. Available in single and double sizes, $30 each. This blanket is also available in indigo, and a forest green stripe (less historical, but very pretty).

The afghan shown is all wool, and is $20. The rug under the bed is available in a number of colors and sizes, 6-1/2" x 8" is $23.
