preserving an old blanket?

My dad gave me his baby blanket and I would like to store it the best way possibleHe said he thinks it's wool; I don't know how wool felt back in those daysIt's the size of a bassinet blanket; cream with flowersIt doesn't need to be cleaned.I just want to know how to store itMy dad is 92 years old, so it's been around a long time.

Answer:

rice crispy treat, add red/green mm, Golden Graham snacks- made from the cereal, Buckeyes(peanut butter balls)- peanut butter, powder sugar, butter, to a little less than pizza dough consistencymelt bakers choch (flavor of choice) and put peanutbutter balls on wax paper and pour the chocolate over them,let cool/harder (they dont get really hard just enough so the chocolate doesnt drip once cooled) Than eat them!
Banana Pudding Just layer vanilla wafers, sliced bananas and vanilla or banana pudding over and over again.
Can't beat No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies NO BAKE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES 1 stick butter 1/4 ccocoa 1/2 cmilk 2 csugar 1 tbspvanilla 1/2 cpeanut butter 2 1/2 coats Mix sugar and cocoa first.then add milkBring to a rolling boil and stirring constantly for 1 minuteRemove from heat and add butter, peanut butter, vanillaAdd oats and mix wellSpoon out onto wax paper.
roll it in acid-free tissue paper.don't fold it, because that will make it weak on the fold linesstore it in an acid-free box.then in a cedar chest, if you have oneYou could have it framed also.in a shadow box.your framer can mount it in a box in a way that will preserve it and let the fibers still breatheThat is really a neat heirloom to have.best wishes!
