I inherited an old cedar chest that had two(2), older, wool blankets stored in it. My first thought was to try and shrink them. I ran them through the washer in a "hot" cycle, rinsed with "cold" and threw them in the dryer. Then, I did it again for good measure. They only shrank a tiny, tiny bit - really not noticable.

How much shrinkage should I expect???
Does it depend on the kind of wool blanket? These are "Moorland quality", virgin wool.....
I am confused - I thought wool shrunk :?:
Thanks for any help :)
