Rothco Wool Blanket - Olive Drab - 66" x 90"

these will smell very strong out of the package, like clear out a room strong. after reading many amazon reviews, i washed it on delicate with laundry soap and vinegar, then tumbled it on "no heat". it says "dry clean only" but i didn't encounter any problems and neither did any of the dozens of people who did so as well. tons of wool will shed, but that's normal for wool blankets. hanging in the direct sun for a while will help as well. i was worried that the smell would never cease or that it was some fire retardant chemical, but it's not, it's just the natural lanolin, which smells sort of like a grease gun. the end result is that it's now no longer scratchy but super soft and fluffed up, and my new favourite blanket, my cat loves it too. i took off one star for workmanship, as there are several 3-4 inch runs of extra material hanging off in random spots. hardly a dealbreaker for the price though.
