Rough Wool Question

[Sammie4030]

Just got some brand new skully longies but they are pretty rough in texture. Not sure of wool type - I'm sure I could ask her if needed. I haven't washed them yet - will that help? Is there any way to soften them up or is wool "unchangeable"?

If they've never been washed before, washing will definitely soften them up, especially if you're using lanolin in your wash. I've heard a lot of people say a conditioner soak will soften it up too but I never had much luck with that.

I'll wash them soon and see how they feel! Thanks!

I agree. I also had little luck with the conditioner soak...

I haven't tried a conditioner soak, but lanolin should help.

Conditioner works if you use conditioner for dry/damaged hair, other conditioners won't work. I have used it on Peace Fleece and it turns that into pretty much silk, but you have to allow to soak over night, not just a few hours.
