Christy Frampton - Hi! I’m finishing up a baby blanket for my granddaughter who’s coming in May! I’m going to put ribbon in it like this.. just wondering if there is anything special you need to do when washing a blanket with ribbon? Thanks.March 26, 2017 – 5:52 pm
Susie - You can always remove the ribbon before washing but I think it’s totally fine to throw it in the wash with it on! Everything evens out in the dryer afterwards… but do remember to set the dryer to very low/delicate. Congratulations on the new addition to your family!!!! :)April 1, 2017 – 10:59 am
