Item Details, Condition & Measurements
Unlike many vintage granny square blankets that repeat a single motif throughout, this afghan appears to have been thoughtfully designed using hundreds of unique color combinations set against a dramatic black background. The result is an eye-catching piece that feels both timeless and surprisingly modern.
According to the previous owner, this blanket was handmade in Greeneville, Tennessee by a woman who had been crocheting for over sixty years. While this history cannot be independently verified, it provides a wonderful glimpse into the care and craftsmanship invested in its creation.

Condition
Excellent vintage condition.
No holes, stains, repairs, odors, or visible flaws were found during inspection. Colors remain vibrant, joins are secure, and the blanket displays beautifully. There is only the light, expected surface fuzzing associated with age and handmade textiles.
This one-of-a-kind afghan works beautifully draped over a sofa, reading chair, bench, antique bed, or displayed as decorative textile art. Its vibrant colors, black background, and remarkable craftsmanship make it an outstanding statement piece for cottage, farmhouse, boho, eclectic, or grandmillennial interiors.
This is an authentic vintage handmade textile. Vintage handmade blankets often display slight variations in stitch tension, yarn texture, and construction that reflect the artisan's craftsmanship and are part of their unique character. These are not considered defects but evidence of genuine handwork that cannot be duplicated by modern mass production.
Vintage textile note: Handmade and vintage textiles may show subtle variations in fibers, stitch tension and construction consistent with age and handwork.
