Can I wash a 5kg weighted blanket in a normal machine?

Just a bit worried about how heavy it will be when wet and whether my machine will cope. It's an old machine but has recently had a new drum and actually seems less able to cope with heavy items now than before. Machine is insured but could do without the hassle of being without it while I wait for repair if the blanket is too much for it. Worrying unnecessarily or legitimate concern? Today and tomorrow look like our last decent drying days so want to get it done today if possible and can't easily get it to a launderette, should I just bite the bullet and risk it or not?
