Hand Knit

Can you wash an afghan ( You know, those hand knit blanket thingys) in a washing machine?
I have one that is several years old and has become the dogs bed. And frankly it smells. Can it be washed on perhaps on delicate cycle?
What about throwing it in the dryer?
Granted we don't use it anymore, but I don't want it to fall apart during the wash cycle or shrink in the dryer to become a dolls blanket.
To my knowledge it has never been washed.
I don't know what it is made from. Perhaps wool, because it is kinda scratchy feeling.
Sure, just use delicate, warm water, easy on the dryer temperature in case it's wool though it probably isn't. Haven't seen a wool afghan for years. Ammonia will help remove a good deal of the doggy smell, all by itself or as an additive, though if your dog smells like my dog, this will forever be the dog's afghan. Check the bottle label for quantity of ammonia to use.
