My 80/20 blankets were washed and dryed today and came out just great!
Ivory soap and fabric softner was used on the most delicate wash cycle in cold water & cold rinse. It was dryed in the dryer using lots of the fabric softner sheets and the most delicate dry cycle.

When I asked my mother for old pure wool blankets, I asked her to wash them by following the instruction on customwoolenmills:

It seems to work well.

Has anyone here received any of the $7.99 blankets yet?

If so, how was the quality? My other options are $15 surplus
blankets or $25 poncho liners.

I just purchased my second one for $7.99 and got a refund of 4 bucks on the first one, thanks to Smitty!) and yes, in my opinion they are execelent light weight kit or car blankets.

My other choice was the heavy used Italian 100% wool blanket @ about $11 dollars from Cheaper Than Dirt, and others, but the reviews were mostly negative due to the very high shipping cost and the OVERWHELMING moth ball smell that took 3 to 5 very special care washings and line dryings etc, etc, and apparently still lingers. Not my cup of tea.
