    Blackbird Designs used a wool army blanket in a project (can't remember which book it was in). It was a table runner and it was stunning. The color of the wool made the project look vintage. I have several wool army blankets, one has the year it was made woven into it (1941). These blankets are quality wool. I'm sure you can find uses for it.

    I have the same blanket from my husband's years in the Navy. If you want to give the blanket you have away, I'll take it.

    I usually go to an Army/Navy surplus store and get wool blankets to use for projects.
