I haven't used my throw as of yet as I am still deciding if I will keep it or give it as a taonga to my mokopuna. I am so grateful to have been able to get one and wish to share this taonga.

Nans blanket taonga
I havent used it yet. I'm trying to locate an embroidery business that will sew my nans Maori name into it so I can gift it. This blanket will be with her until her day comes and will get passed down to us as the years go by. My Nan is a very special woman and sacrificed alot for her mokopuna and continues to raise her mokopuna to this day.
