Huge SuperWash Merino Blanket
Hi! I have collected a large stash of Indie dyed super wash merino yarn over the last few years. I just can’t resist all the goodies at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival that takes place 15 minutes from my house :) I’ve decided to make a big fancy mismatched granny square blanket (or two) from all of these skeins. My questions:
Is it dumb to make such a large (full sized) blanket out of superwash wool?
If it was you, how would you wash/dry such a large item?
Do I need to do anything special BEFORE I use this fancy yarn? I saw a pic the other day of someone’s hands all blue from dye rubbing off.
Thanks for any help!
