wool blankets
Has anyone made a jacket/coat using Pendleton 100% wool blankets? I found a picture on Pinterest of a coat made out of the same blanket that I have, and I love it. Was wondering if I should attempt to wash the blanket, I know that washing wool felts it. The other option is dry clean. The blanket is quite thick so I am thinking of a simple pattern and I don't think I would use a very heavy lining. Your opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Heat makes wool felt not water. Wash gently in your usual quilt wash product and cold water, and dry flat. (My brother in law works at Pendleton Woolen Mills in Washougal, WA)
