With woolwash on a cold gentle cycle. If you don't have woolwash use liquid washing detergent and if you don't have that dissolve some powder into some water before adding.
Usually you would wash woollens in cold water so they don't shrink but warm water for blankets should be fine if you prefer.
Wait for a nice warm day to hang them out.
Awesome that's what I was thinking. Will take them to the laundromat and use one of the bigger machines too.
In that case definitely use cold water.
Second this.
