I gather a small length of wool from the blanket. This fibre’s fragility is increased by the time it was in contact with the people that used the blanket, the friction of their body matting the fibres together and making it more difficult to separate warp from weft. I then knit it. When the length of wool is knit, I return to the blanket to harvest more.
The blanket will not be completely undone, and the knit object will not be bound off.
