I'm ready to wet finish a blanket that has commercial wool for warp and handspun Llama/Merino blend for weft.  I've read Llama doesn't full like wool so would it be best for me to dampen the blanket and full it in the dryer?  I have a front load washer and wet-finishing my wool handwovens hasn't been a problem.

Not sure I would put it in a front loader unless you can stop the machine mid cycle. Fulling varies depending on the fiber and thickness of yarn. Hate to see all your hard work go for naught.  Laura Fry would know how to finish this.
