There was extreme trepidation as I put the blanket into my machine and washed it on cold and gentle spin. Every label indicated it was safe to do this.
When I first took it out I thought that there was some mild fulling for one colour.
I hung it up to dry and tried not to be too sad.
Tonight as I sat to trim final ends and write this update post, I started looking and realized it’s because one of my yarns while I thought was similar, is actually a much lighter weight! so this feels denser than the others! So that’s on me, and a different issue I’ll need to explain, but it’s all fine and nothing felted or fulled. YAY!
