Can you give me recs for blankets?

Submitted by Anon_Chick5 t3_11sh8ir in BuyItForLife

Does anyone have recommendations for a soft white blanket that will fit a standard washer and dryer? I used to have a duvet and duvet cover but I honestly hated putting on the duvet cover so much. I would much rather have a blanket that fits. I don’t even mind layering blankets.

Pendleton wool blankets are good. They’re not cheap but you can probably find one on Craigslist. They wear like iron. An Army blanket circa WWII is also very good, especially if you like pea green.

How do those hold up in a washer & dryer?

They don’t. You cannot put a Pendleton wool blanket in a washer or dryer.

You can brush them, or hang on a line to air out, or dry clean them.

That's what I thought. The OP specified a blanket that can go in a washer and dryer.

Yep. And a Pendleton ain’t it. Awesome blankets, though.

The ecowise wool ones can go in the washer and dryer without any issues.

I’ve even washed their regular blankets although with some shrinkage. Woolite, low heat for not too long, extended tumble then finish off by air drying. I also have a speed Queen set that can handle the bulk.

Muslin Comfort. I have the extra large king and it washes just fine. It’s holding up nicely!

Most wool blanket are bilf. Just don't use a dryer. It kills any fabric.

Bronte by Moon makes excellent blankets, and they are affordable, at least in Europe.
