Brief

@youwillmakemaps presented a textile map project that turns a 1-bit PNG of Manhattan into a 4x8-foot merino wool throw. Technical weaver Natalia Nicolau produced it as a reversible blanket, framing the work as both a cartographic object and a soft, wearable-feeling textile.

4x8 ft. merino wool map throw; made a 1bit PNG map of Manhattan, technical weaver Natalia Nicolau wove it into an enormous reversible blanket. Softest map I've made, feels like a real nice sweater.
