Help! Relative has made a beautiful blanket for our firstborn and I've ruined it (I think)

Oh god oh god oh god. Relative on my husband's side spent months making this blanket. We got it at the weekend and when we opened the box it absolutely stunk of smoke. So I popped it in a pillow case and then washed it along with some other baby stuff. Except I just put it on a normal wash not a wool wash and now it's all kind of stuck together :s
I can't even tell if I have shrunk it yet because it's so mangled. I can peel little bits apart but I'm wondering if I stick it in the bath and soak it will this help? Or what can I do? I feel sick.

I think you have done an amazing job with it, when it’s wrapped round the baby you won’t even notice the felted bit Smile
The pre-washing photo was a horror, looked like it would never recover!

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy Flowers
