You can wash wool without felting it.

Am I the only person on earth that adores the smell of wool and lanolin oil?

firrantello: thanks for the tip, I guess you can, and now that I think about it I kind of knew that but didn't think about it.

Tes: I don't know about that, but I'm not huge on it... its just not a worm kind of smell.

but I think this scarf is going on hold... I just remembered that she has really sensetive skin, so wool is out!
I'll have to pick back up on that one another time, and on another note, that means that I could play with feltting it... I've never felted anything so that could be fun.

I grew up with woolies; my sweaters, mits, toques, my mum's wool felt coat... the smell of wool is a warm and comfortable smell to me.
Unless we're talking about wormy smells, then I really must agree with you, wool doesn't smell like worms rofl

I don't mind the smell that much, but I am somewhat allergic, so I'm wary about it. I usually wash it to remove some of the lanolin more so than to get rid of the smell. *shrug*

And I should probibly say something ontopic

I spent my time around sheep farms when I was a little tike, and I can say that wool doesn't really smell like sheep
sheep smell like poop
anybody want to know the litteral translation of the word dag?

Wool and lanolin smell fine, but I'm allergic and break out in hives every time I get near. gonk

It's a tragedy.

I was terribly allergic as a small child. Sometimes I still find wool itchy (I can't wear wool when I have a cold or flu) and I wear something under it... but really it doesn't diminish my love for it 3nodding
