Thanks everyone for your support of our custom knits. We look forward to 2022 being a great year and hope to continue to support the needs of our awesome customers during this retirement process. We will be accepting orders on a limited basis on the camouflage garments. I will post the jackets, pants, or vests in the online store when I have the time to knit and fill the order. Thanks for your patience.

This Blanket is designed to honor the Salmon of the Pacific Northwest Coast. It is known as 'the provider of life'. Many of the Native American Nations of the Pacific Northwest rely on their salmon fishing to provide food and income. The salmon is also important to Native American Culture and many legends on How the Salmon came to the People are told.

Salmon Blanket in two colors and full size
I purchased the black and grey version of this blanket at a charity auction in March 2008. My daughters (7 and 10) love this and I often find one of them curled up under it. It's physically light and very warm and comfortable; perfect for your lap or over your shoulders. Eric Storm
