Make Someone The Ultimate Gift Of Comfort This Season!
Who doesn’t love to wrap themselves in a thick, fluffy, warm blanket during these chilly Fall and Winter nights? When the weather becomes dreary and cold, there’s really nothing like big soft hunk of yarn to snuggle with as you sip hot cocoa and curl up with a good book or movie.
But when the DIY gift is a warm and comforting BLANKET… that makes everything even better!
Think of the joy it’ll bring someone to open a handmade chuncky knit blnaket this holiday season…
Heck, think of the joy it’ll bring YOU to make one for yourself and enjoy during these next few cold months….
At Pinots Palette we can easily make that an easy task for you.
Join us for a painting and wine class… Ahem, a knitting and wine class, and create a one-of-a-kind handmade work of art in the form of a large, soft blanket!
Dive into a new creative night out! Join us for our DIY Chunky Blanket Workshop. Where we show you step-by-step on how to create your very own soft, snuggly, chunky blanket! ! No experience or knitting needles required.
During this one-of-a-kind event, we will guide you step-by-step through hand knitting a warm, soft chunky knit blanket.
Make one of these fabulous blankets during our ‘OPEN STUDIO’ Classes OR in one of our scheduled classes!
*These blankets have been very popular since we started offering them a few years ago, so if you know you want to join, reserve spots for you and your friends, as soon as you can!
NOTE: While we *Do offer blankets as option for 'Open studio', be sure to let us know ahead of time so we can have the materials ready to go! The majority of our supplies at the studio are canvases and wooden signs, so a head's up will make sure we bring enough yarn from our other facility to you!
Open Studio Workshop
While you may have heard of, or even attended, our ‘Open Studio’ events, you know that customers typically paint on canvas, but we have been offering some of other ‘Off the canvas’ items too; This includes blankets!
Join us between the house listed on the sign up, and make the items of your choice in a smaller, non-artist-lead class with friends, family, or just by yourself!

Turns Out, There’s A Scientific Reason Why A Blanket Is The Ultimate Safe Haven
We all have a favorite sleeping position—from the fetal curl or the splaying starfish to the yearner’s stretch or the log pose. And most of us also have a preference for either feather or foam pillows, soft mattress or hard, cotton sheets or silk. But there’s one sleep habit nearly everyone has in common, and that’s our tendency to sleep under a blanket.
For one thing, your body’s core temperature drops before and during slumber, so you need the blanket for a simple, practical reason: to stop your shivers.
That nightly cool down does more than simply keep you comfortable while you snooze—it’s actually a key part of what regulates the circadian rhythm that determines when your body is ready to go to sleep and when it’s ready to wake up; It begins about an hour before you hit the sheets and continues to drop while you sleep, eventually reaching one or two degrees below your average body temperature. But once you reach the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep cycle your body loses its ability to regulate its temperature. Your blanket is there to keep you warm—even on a summer night.
There’s a behavioral element to sleeping with bedding, too. Truth be told, we’ve been conditioned to use blankets since birth.
A blanket creates a ‘microclimate’ around the skin that is usually warmer than the surrounding environment,” says Michael Grandner, PhD, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona in Tucson. “It traps heat that escapes from the body at night, keeping the body warm. And since most people sleep with a blanket, the physical sensation of the blanket itself gets paired with sleep. This means that simply being under a blanket can cause the brain and body to be primed for sleep. It can actually trigger a sleep response.”
