Hi, I'm Donna (aka The Unicorn). Thanks for stopping by my website!
I'm guessing you have come across this site because you a looking for a handmade blanket. If you are looking for something, unique, bespoke and special then you have come to the right place.
I make many different items using a combination of knitting and crochet. Mainly I make blankets using different wool types. All the blankets I make are to order so you get to decide on what colour and size you would like.

Where it all began...
It all started in 2012 when a friend wanted a gift to take to a baby shower. We were chatting and looking on the web for different ideas when she decided she would ideally like something handmade and original. We then started searching for those such items and noticed there were lots of different items and places to buy. Then something magical happened, she saw a beautiful blanket. That was it, she wanted to take a handmade and original blanket as a gift. With my friend knowing that I can knit and crochet I got the look of "could you make something?" Again more internet searching for the perfect wool type and colour. We discovered some rather weird and wonderful wool but the one we were both so intrigued by was the pompom wool. I made the blanket, the gift was loved by all and before I knew it word had spread with more people asking if i could make them. And that people, is what led to where we are today.
What goes into making a Handmade Unicorn Blanket
It starts with a conversation. I need to know:
Once we have all of that decided I will order the materials and start production.
I start by using the pompom wool to knit the main part of the blanket. From there I finish the blanket with a crochet edging. The blanket is completed adding the label. It's then into the box and on its way to you.
The standard 3 ball unicorn blanket takes about 18 hours of work. Which I tend to spread across a 3 week period. Please keep this in mind when ordering your blanket. To have something made just for you, takes a little time to add the magic and make it special.
