So I knitted a chunky blanket. Now what?!

So…. I arm knitted a chunky yarn blanket. It’s the Yarn Bee Chunky Spiral, 17.5 Oz (120 yard) per skein, and I used a little under 1 and a half skeins. So about 26 ounces of yarn. The blanket is literally longer than I am tall, both it width and in length. I made mistakes at the start (some twisted stitches), and at the end accidentally dropped half an armful of stitches so the bind-off (and preceding row(s)’)tension is a bit uneven. I did manage to recover and fix it, but yeah…. The question remains:

What am I supposed to do with this now?!?

I don’t actually enjoy knit throws and blankets, especially blankets bigger than a king-sized bed with holes larger than my hands and feet. The wool (60% acrylic, 28% polyamide, 12% wool) is also not tightly spun, so it falls apart and frizzes with any force.

Anyone have any advice on how to even store this? I’m thinking… vacuum seal bag?
