they work ok- they are scratchy- i would wash them first- and dry them- and if used for batting i would only tie the quilt- or do big-stitch quilting. they will make very warm quilts-
i like to use them with denim/corduroy fabrics- even more heavy- but the extra weight/density of the fabrics seems to make the scratchy wool not appearant. with light cottons sometimes you still feel the wool.
the blankets can also be used for pillows and appliques.
i would snatch up as many as i could afford at that price...i thought $25 apiece was a deal.
