my granny made afgans for us all the time when i was little and my mom made quite a few herself.. we have many many of them and we've never hesitated to wash them like a regular blanket. i've always been under the impression that they machine wash quite nicely. of course ours have always been made of basic yarn stuff and nothing fancy like frugal fish is talking about the wool....
my 14 year old pink & white full sized afghan from my mom looks just as nice as the day she made it and it gets washed a lot.
