"Wash it as little as possible, preferably by hand. They can be machine
washed but if you want it to last a very long time, dry clean it at the end
of the season and put it away carefully for the summer. A teaspoonful of
hazelnut oil , Almond oil or similar in the final rinse helps restore the
oil to the wool. Moreover, it will smell very nice!"

Same here.  I was always told to strip down as much as you could, and keep
the clothes under the blanket with you.   If you went to bed clothed, you'd
sweat and wake up with wet clothes.    Worked well enough when I was younger
and went camping during the winter.   I must admit I have not been out below
about -10 though.

I too toss at night, and solved the cold feet problem by folding about 18" of
the foot of the blanket under, and "sewing" it in place with linen thread and
a bodkin.  About one stitch every couple of inches. Just enough to hold things
together. This, with a bed of leaves, one blanket under and folded over the top,
with another folded in half on top, that is, one layer under and three on top
keeps me REAL comfy.  And I'm one of those folks who gets cold pretty easily.

Outstanding.  I'd heard about them from a friend who did Rev. War

Didn't even think about blankets.

Hey Folks
Check out the new item on the Auction site listed below.  It is a book, =
Across the Seasons, by Laura Glise.
This book is well worth the trouble.  What more could we =
want......painstakingly researched historical fiction (four years =
worth!!), mixed with a touch of mysticism and a double dip of time =
travel?  Who among us hasn't daydreamed of traveling in time to the =
Rendezvous period and having the opportunity to personally "see the =
elephant"?  This is what happens to the main character in this story.  I =
had the pleasure of helping Laura with some of the small details of the =
book to ensure greater historical accuracy of the rendezvous era =
depicted and was very impressed with her attention to detail and her =
desire to "get it right."  Any mistakes in this area are most likely =
mine.=20
The only artistic license of note is that some details of the 1837 =
rendezvous are blended with those of the 1838 rendezvous.  I have one of =
the other ten copies and I can't wait for the book to be published.  A =
very well known and respected agent has the manscript and has been very =
favorably impressed with it.  Look for this one to make it.  The =
manuscript is nicely printed, ring bound and cost Laura $20 to print.  =
Thanks a lot, Laura, for donating this interesting item.
YMOS
Lanney Ratcliff
ps:  I will say this.  As some movies are "chick flicks", this book is =
somewhat a "chick book"....but not entirely.  There are a number of =
riveting scenes of conflict with wild critters and wild men, both white =
and red, to satisfy the blood lust in any of us and the entire adventure =
experienced by the main character is very compelling to anyone.  This is =
no namby-pamby Politically Correct book, rewriting history to smooth =
modern feathers, if you get my drift.

CJ Wilde blankets are hand made to duplicate museum specimens of the period 
and are sold with documentation.  Haven't spent much time thinking about the 
6pt other than blankets were sold in pairs and without splitting the pair in 
half, you could certainly have the size.  pat surrena #1449
