You are so right, wool is not a good product to use in nursing homes. Maybe she can make the Pendleton fabric into something for herself. I would hate to see it after it was washed and dried any other way.
I wash hand made quilts for friends who are in the nursing home here so they don't have to go to the laundry there.
