Ysabell’s Spring Blanket is a larger companion piece to Ysabell’s Washcloth. Both were inspired by Lady Ysabell Death-Sto Helit, a character in Terry Pratchett’s DiscWorld series.

Lady Ysabell grows up in the land of her adopted father, Death, seeing only black and white, plus the pink items she alone uses. Once back in the living world she leads a full life by getting married, having a daughter, and ruling a duchy full of cabbage fields. This blanket reflects the glorious greens of spring after a long winter.
