After hand washing I omitted spinning and just squeezed out excess moisture before putting the blanket straight into the tumble dryer. I then plonked myself on a chair in front of the dryer and neurotically watched the process, removing and checking progress at least every five minutes until it was "cooked" to my liking! I was worried that prolonged washing might damage the fibres. This worked for me!Jane Flanaganhttp://janeflanagantextiles.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562485639939576351.post-86646096588199642842011-10-12T10:38:50.668+01:002011-10-12T10:38:50.668+01:00That's turned out brilliantly - I'd love t...That's turned out brilliantly - I'd love to be able to feel it too!

One of the finest roles played on screen by one of my favourite actors. <br />It looks fantastic Jane...maybe it will become his favourite "comfort" blanket and, like my daughters, stay with her into adulthood.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920780605629157682noreply@blogger.com
