For washing wool without damage, try this proven method next.
Itchy wool comes from rigid scales on the fibers. If fibers exceed 28 micrometers in diameter—roughly four times a human hair's width—they cause irritation.
These tiny scales trap against skin, making winter wear unbearable.
For ultra-soft wool, fibers under 16.5 micrometers are ideal, delivering warmth without discomfort.
