Interested in commissioning a handmade throw or afghan? Here's what you need to consider!
-
What color palette? Earthy, bright primary, soft pastels, specific colors, etc.? Any no-nos for colors?
-
What style? Granny Squares? Scrapghan? Traditional (e.g. classic granny square), contemporary, child-oriented, funky, etc?
-
What overall size? Throw (for a newborn or small child, or typically to cover an adult's legs and lower body), or Afghan (to fully cover an adult, or to cover a bed, and if so, what size bed)?
-
If you like some form of a square, what size? Squares can range from a few inches to 12" or more! Size queens welcome, and I love their boyfriends!
-
What kind of yarn? I typically work with high-quality chunky acrylic yarn. But there's also wool, cotton, and blends (like acrylic/wool) which often cost considerably more.
-
For what will it be used?
-
Does the item need to be machine washable?
-
Will the item be a gift?
