Washing woolen (crochet) blanket
DD has a gorgeous crocheted woolen blanket and i want to give it a wash. Can i do it in the washing machine, or does it need to be hand washed?
What washing powder/juice is best?
please excuse my ineptitude.

If it's really spesh, handwash in lukewarm water. If it seems fairly robust you could probably get away with a warm or cool wash on a gentle or wool cycle. You can put it inside a pillowcase to stop pilling. Also lay it out flat to dry as hanging can pull them out of shape.

I tend to stuff things if I hand wash. I have had great success putting the item in a hosiery bag, put it on the specific wook cycle and using a decent wool wash.
