The annoying part of about wool is remembering to use the wool-specific washing mode and the wool-specific detergent.
And one you've done that you have to reshape it when drying, which invariably must be done flat.
- Maxion 2y agoYou don't really need a wool specific detergent, you can just switch completely to a detergent that doesn't have enzymes, specifically protease that's the main problem for wool.
- nextos 2y agoWool-specific detergents usually have lanolin or other equivalent lipids added into the mix. These are really helpful to maintain wool properties.
- jijijijij 2y agoThis really depends on the type, quality and post processing of the wool. Also a small addition of synthetic fibers can drastically improve performance. I got merino base layer clothing with non of the downsides you mentioned, while maintaining the positives. I also got a thick 100% wool pullover, which was intensely post-processed, to the point of losing some wool qualities, but you can wash it at 60°C without any problem.
