Wool cover care

So I have two wool covers that came with the "weird" free stuff.  I want to wash them in the regular wash on cold, because they're really dirty (or at least they seem that way to me).  Can I do that without hurting them?  I'd then wash with wool wash and re-lanolize.  (uh, that's what I need to do to prep them right?)

Also, where did you get your wool wash and lanolin?

    That would probably be fine to do - I'd set my washer on delicate/low spin option if possible.

    I just bought some Ewe Need It wool wash with lanolin from Sewcraftybaby (free ship + newsletter code = cheaper than directly from HC) and it works great. You won't necessarily need lanolin if your wool wash contains enough of it. GL!

    Also I might try sunning the soakers a bit (Usually sunning isn't the best thing for wool but if they look like some of the other stuff from that lot it might help with the stains)

    DUH!  I forgot we had a local store.  This will be dangerous, though, because I'll probably walk out with yarn too.

    I have not visited the site.  I am afraid to visit the site.  Will we need to go there when I'm in CO in July?  Hmmmm?

    If you can get up to FoCo.  :o)  I've heard great things about this shop, but have been too scared to go for fear my wallet will become a lot lighter.

    It would be quite the drive for you (probably 1.5-2 hours), BUT there are some awesome LYSs in Denver we could go to. Oh yes, we could.

    In fact, there is one mere blocks from a local, organic cupcake shop that we could go to. Best.cupcakes.ever.

    Cupcakes and yarn?  Oh my.  

    I might have to bring Joanie.  Would that be acceptable?
