A pinwheel of gorgeous colors appears to spin on this dramatic blanket.

This fun-to-knit blanket goes together quickly and easily

The yarn is the soft and gorgeous colors of Haydenville, by Valley Yarns, a worsted weight super-wash merino wool in lovely shades that meld together.

The blanket is worked mostly modularly with a few seams.
