Wool Camping Blankets

April 23, 2007 - Tag: Camping Equipment

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.

So this is why you dont wash wool camping blankets :-(

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!

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