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.

Ah, good to know!

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.
