Weave-It Circa 1930s

Grandma Ruth's Weave-It

Circa 1930's, Weave-It, made by the Donar Company in Medford,  MA was a wooden loom that squares were woven on, then later sewn together. Bev has several blankets that were made by her Grandmother Ruth. As she was weaving a square, she recounted how her Grandmother spent a great deal of time weaving, using the Weave-It, and sewing together blankets. Although the blankets have been used for over 50 years, they are still usable and in good shape. Part of our conversation was how many lives are touched by these hand-made items. She reported that the last time she was at the Lexington Ski Club Lodge, one of the throws her Grandmother wove was still being used.
