Description

"Made from the wool of sheep, raised on the farm and hand processed into yarn.
Gray in color, with three bands of color on either end in red and dark brown, the blanket is 76" long and 70" wide, put together in three sections, machine stitched together.
This was woven by Ragnhild Grove about 1883. An example of the thrift, industry and art of the early settlers. A very fine piece of weaving on a loom and long treasured in the family remembering a grandmother."
