Attack of the Red Blanket

today I tried to wash a king size blanket we have. It is one of those really soft chenille type blankets, in king size let me add again. Well, now that i looked up the directions online, you are supposed to handwash these. Obviously I did not get that. This is a small part of the mess that I have been dealing w/ all day. It is everywhere. I finally threw the blanket away. I had also thrown another sheet and pillowcases in w/ it. Bad idea. They were covered and i had to wash them 3 times to get rid of the mess. i have a feeling i will be cleaning this mess up for a long while to come.
