“Great blanket, smell no problem”

“These are great blankets. I have ordered several from STP and have been using them for years. The mothball smell IS quite strong. Here is what you do: hang the blankets over the back fence and forget about them for a week or two. Rain, shine, snow, whatever, just leave them. Check for smell. If no smell then wash on HOT with plenty of liquid softener. Dry on HOT until totally dry. Done. You now have a great smelling, soft, durable, warm wool blanket. After about a dozen or so washes during normal use this blanket will be supple, soft, not itchy, and will stop shedding wool dust. Just use the thing and wash it when dirty. Don't worry about it and it will break in like your favorite pair of jeans. In addition to the several from STP, I just got through processing an eight-pack I bought from another site. They all turned out beautifully and smell free!”
