Thread: Wool, wool, wool.

My personal wool go-to has been a "stanny" ( https://stanfields.com/collections/m...ht-wool-henley ) and have been wearing the same one for 10 years now for bush work, chainsawing etc - it's the logging/fishing go-to clothing in West and East coast Canada. It's getting a bit see through after 10 years, but it's tough and warm. Takes a lot more abuse than my other knitted garments, don't know what makes it special.

Have been thinking giving it a lanolin wash - spoke with a traditional cowichan sweater maker who had a lot to say about minimally processed wool and keeping the lanolin in the wool, or washing lanolin back into commercial wool to keep water resistant. Having worn a traditional cowichan sweater out in the rain I'm inclined to agree that lanolin does wonders for keeping wool from getting wet, but haven't gotten around to experimenting yet. Anyone wash lanolin into their wool stuff?
