They're pretty cute, but made of that really itchy wool. I'll probably be putting them on Wil with a layer underneath, but I still want to get them cleaned somehow since they've been stored in a basement box for sometime. But the thought of drycleaning chemicals on Wil just makes me cringe. What should I do? Any advice on ways to wash wool? I've made the mistake of putting wool in my own washer...it shrinks to wee size and STINKS! -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

Here in NY, organic dry cleaners are popping up all over- maybe there's one in your area? -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

Nope, used to, but I live in CO. Maybe in Denver, but I imagine there isn't anything organic here in Colorado Springs. We're so behind! I'll look though...thanks!

What about that Baby Oxyclean? I have a free sample. Would that be like washing in Woolite?
