Two handwoven woolen blankets, thought to be woven by Euphemia Lamont (MacFadyen) at the Post Office, Ruaig.
These are thought to be examples of traditional Highland Wedding Blankets. They are made with hand spun wool which is then hand dyed with Indigo and handwoven on a 30 inch hand loom, a ‘beart beag’, the two single widths being sewn together to make a wider blanket. They are the cream colour of the sheep with indigo stripes. (There would sometimes be seven stripes for good luck.) Both are woven with a twill weave, the smaller one is all wool but it looks as if the large one has a cotton warp.
