hand-woven & embroidered wool throw blanket, vintage weave-it afghan

1940s vintage handcrafted wool blanket, lovingly made of a huge number of little weave-it loom squares, sewn together and finished with wool yarn embroidery. This is big, too... about 40" x 74", edged with yarn fringe.

This is slightly felted from washings, but soft and snuggly, with very little buckling or wear to the embroidery. There's a few spots and areas of surface soil, we'd think a gentle hand-washing would work fine to clean it up!
