day over two lines. Pin edges together and straighten them. When partly
dry, turn the blanket over, repin and restraighten. When dry, brush nap.
Dry as recommended for permanent press fabrics on page 8.
If manufacturer recommends machine drying:
1. Place one or two dry towels in the dryer and preheat 3-5 minutes on a
high setting. This will dry blankets faster and help avoid pilling.
2. Put blanket in dryer with warm towels. Set control for 20 minutes.
3. Check after 10 minutes. Remove when still damp. Overdrying and
long tumbling can cause shrinking and pilling.

cool iron if needed.
