A New Zealand woman will showcase her weaving skills and spin a blanket for the new royal prince.
College of Creative Arts textile design graduate, Christine Brimer was asked by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet to submit a design on behalf of the nation for a baby blanket.
After her design, featuring the country's flora and fauna, was selected, Brimer began weaving the blanket.
The design showcases manuka as a versatile and adaptable plant that enables regeneration of native forests.
![The blanket is made from New Zealand wool in natural cream Corriedale grown and spun by Anna Gratton Yarns Ltd from Feilding.](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/resizer/v2/XRVXCKHCYAZP2X4FUBRKQAKX2Y.jpg?auth=153b3bb4417166de3f95eb8d2ffde96bcf6da70302809556d3986e5c4d52e14b&width=16&height=11&quality=70&smart=true)
