Yes. I bought it from a mill in MN. I like to buy US made stuff when I can afford it. They said to put the quilt in the washer and to fill up with water, then to hand agitate it (not with the machine), do the rinse in the same way and spin to get the excess water out naturally. Finally, hang to dry. Lotsa work, but I have allergies and dust mites don't like wool so it works for me :)

I almost forgot, I have a felting project, knitting, and you shrink the wool by agitating it in the washer, not so much the dryer. Agitation is the shrinker :)

Thanks
