Wool Camping Blankets
Don’t you just love the warmth of a wool blanket? We have two that we take camping that I usually end up putting underneath me just to keep the cold from coming up through the ground. We bought a new one last year, and we’ve used it about 5 times, so today I decided I should wash it.
I guess reading the tag that said “dry clean only” should have been my first step.
I’ve got it in the dryer on low, and I am cleaning out the lint trap every 3-5 minutes. The blanket itself looks okay though, despite the fact it’s losing it’s material at a very fast pace. LOL!

We are two people who love to go camping and hiking. We love the outdoors, and we are working on becoming as green as we can be.

You cannot just throw a wool blanket in the washing machine.
