ColourIn DIY Colouring Blanket

Colouring books ran out of road somewhere around the third one. The pages are small, the result goes in a drawer, and nobody has ever curled up under a colouring book.

The ColourIn DIY Colouring Blanket is a soft flannel throw printed all over with black-and-white line art — a pattern of dogs, or a pattern of cats, waiting to be filled in. Twenty-four fabric pens come in the box.

Colour it over a few evenings, on the sofa, under the thing you are colouring. Then use it as a blanket.

Why You'll Love It

🎨 It Is A Blanket First
Soft flannel that is genuinely warm and genuinely large. The colouring is what you do to it, not a reason to put up with something scratchy.

🖍 Twenty-Four Pens In The Box
Nothing to buy separately and nothing to guess about. Open it and start.

👨‍👩‍👧 Several People At Once
At 150 cm wide, three or four can work on different corners. It is one of the few crafts that genuinely works as a group.

🐶 Dogs Or Cats
Line-drawn breeds, paw prints and bones scattered across the whole surface. Pick the household you are buying for.

🛋 The Result Goes On Display
Finished, it is draped over the back of the sofa. A colouring book gets closed; this gets looked at every day.

🧘 Hours, Not Minutes
There is a lot of surface. This is a project across several evenings rather than one afternoon, which is the point for most people who buy it.

📏 Two Sizes
150 × 130 cm for a sofa throw, 150 × 200 cm for a proper single-bed-sized blanket and a much bigger canvas.

🎁 A Present With Something To Do In It
For a child who is bored, an adult who likes crafts, or a grandparent and grandchild to do together.

🏥 Good For Long Stays
Hospital, recovery, long journeys. Something absorbing that is also warm turns out to be a rare combination.

✨ No Two End Up The Same
Same outlines, completely different blankets. That is half of why people photograph the finished ones.

Colouring It

Work on a flat surface with card or a tea towel under the section you are colouring, so nothing bleeds through to the layer beneath.

Let the colour dry fully and set it following the pen instructions before the first wash. Wash cool and gently afterwards; a hot wash will lift colour whatever pens you use.

Colour it in, then get under it 🖍
