Post by BlackIronEpee »

I have a wool blanket, cut up, but in large pieces, does any one have and ideas for little projects I could use the remainder for?

Those scraps are great for lining quivers or scabbards if you want you can add some lanolin back in to keep out moisture. They can be very good for odd sized pouches, alone with a drawstring, or reinforced with some leather, sporran style.
Of coarse they go well on canteens to wet and allow the evaporation to cool the water, or pad inside of cops and greives and bracers (as long as the armor will not be rubbing on bare skin)
They might even make an arming, or warming cap or hood depending on thier size and shape!
A bit of fur round the brim and a bell at the end and you can go Dwarf Style!
