Holly, Do you have any yarn left? Or maybe even your thrums? I'm really curious about how the yarn would change if you washed it in hot, shocked it in cold and smacked it some on the side of the countertop! :) That's what I plan to do when I experiment with the singles I have spun from a Dorset X ?? fleece. I'll make a skein with about 5 yards of yarn (premeasured), then beat it up and semi-felt it, then measure again. Also, I'll compare the grist pre and post abuse. This will be fun!
I'm glad to hear that your blanket is still a useful item, just different than what you planned.
