indigestion – invented by Caleb Bradham – in New Bern, North Carolina, 1893.

SHIPPING
-

notice – I can ship from within the US – handling time of 20 business days
- as I am located in Canada but can arrange with a shipper to originate once
per month from within the US. As that gap lessens, handling time will shorten.

Canadian, US, and permitted International destinations - by Canada Post -

I use the most
economical carriers who operate Monday-Friday – not weekends; not holidays.

over-charges, if they are significantly over my actual cost to ship - normally,
I am close to the actual cost.

Processing Blankets, Once in Hand -
All Blankets are washed in Wool-Safe Laundry
Detergent; dried on warm heat, until dry; photographed from both sides; folded

There are videos and web-sites on line which
explain how wool items can be re-stretched to their proper shape or size (or
closer to) – as shrinkage happens when washed and dried.
