For the wool-addicts out there, do any of you perform any kind of Lanolin Treatment to your woolens?  If so, can you give details on the process/frequency?

btw
In my case I'm not dealing with anything ultra-high end. I am mainly thinking about lightly treating Asbell wool, some thrift store Merino's/Cashmere, and Woolrich pants.

I'd be curious as well. Maybe some sort of lanolin spray? I'm sure the natural lanolin will disappear after washing the garment a few times. One thing I've learned is not to dry clean the wool.

I use a product when it comes time to wash my wool called Eucalan.  It's available unscented and contains lanolin in it.  I hand wash my woolens and this stuff doesn't require a rinse to clean wool.  It makes the wool seem a little softer and you can feel the lanolin on your hands when you wash your stuff.  It's pretty concentrated.  You just soak your stuff in it, swish it around a little and then drain the water out.

Thanks, in my case I often find myself in the rain and was hoping to better water-proof some of the older wool.  Also, you never know what the history is with thrift store wool, and many times may have been washed/dry-cleaned frequently.
