 lanolizing is easy! yes, it's true! we actually enjoy lanolizing every few weeks in our house. follow these simple steps: hand wash cover with wool wash or baby shampoo. fill a cup with very hot water. add an almond size amount of solid lanolin & a squirt of baby shampoo or wool wash. Stir until water turns white, like milk, & all of the lanolin is melted. there should be no floating yellow solids. fill a sink or very large bowl with tepid water. add the cup of lanolin water & stir together. put cover into the water, working lanolin into it for a few minutes. let cover sit for 15 minutes to 4 hours, depending on how much time you have. squeeze water out ~ do not wring. roll cover up in a towel to press out excess water (or put into the washing machine on the spin cycle). lay flat to dry. you can lanolize a few covers at once. all of our hand dyed items should be lanolized separately until water runs clear. wash and lanolize every two weeks, or as needed. |
