WWI and II wool blankets
 

I have vintage wool 3 blankets and I’d like do use them somehow. I’ve searched Pinterest and found ideas. I may make bags and use canvas with it, like for handles and such. I’d be interested in any projects you’ve done.

The ones I remember seeing many years ago were real heavy. Don't know how best to use them.

I use the one that I have to cover a table and make a large pressing surface.

The wool is very heavy and scratchy. I can't imagine using it for anything else.

I've seen them recommended as batting, especially for a tied quilt.

Patrice--great idea to use on top of table for pressing surface! Would be similar to those new wool pressing mats! I'll have to dig out that scratchy blanket out.

I would probably make duvet covers to enclose both of them. They are unbelievably warm.

I've done that for a long time. It works great!

My great-grandmother used them as the batting in quilts. Her's were the the wool calvary blankets her brother got for her. They lived in Kansas so needed very heavy blankets in the winter.

I keep one in my vehicle for emergencies. When I was younger, there was one on my bed during winter. Sometimes it doubled as a tent or a cave; whatever we needed it to be.

Batting. They soften with use and washing with Woolite.
