Does anyone know where I could get a garment bag that would protect wool? I have a wool blanket that I wove myself and I'd really like to store it properly, but I don't have a clue how to do that. Thanks!

I thin kthe best way to store any wool produce is in a cedar-line chest. You can get/make ones that would be the right size for just one blanket.
Can we see pictures??

I don't have an overview, but I do have a close up of the pattern and how I finished the ends. The blanket is a 100% wool (some expensive kind that I don't remember the name of) warp and the weft is Lamb's Pride bulky yarn (85% wool, 15% mohair blend). It measures 48x60 inches.
I didn't edit the colors in the photo, they didn't show up great. For any Lamb's Pride fans, those are the Oatmeal, Jack's Plum and Charcoal colors.

WOW!! I'm really impressed!!
Where/How did you learn to weave like that??
(I'm a knitter, I loooove wool.)

Thanks!
I took a weaving class to learn how to use a floor loom. I totally loved it. In the class we made scarves and pattern samples, which was cool. The teacher kept stressing how difficult it was to make large work so of course I had to try it. I'm about to start an etsy page selling crocheted and knitted things so that I can earn the money to buy my own floor loom.
...And a lot more Lamb's Pride.
