Thanks, Sherry

Now should I cut the material and wash or leave it whole and then cut. I wash all my wool sweaters and blankets with a lanolin soap. The kind wou wash your sheep before showing, from the feed and grain store.

Leave it whole, wash & dry in the same manner you will be caring for the completed garment, then cut & make up garment. The only other thing you might do is IF the fabric frays a lot, you might want to finish off the raw edges with a zigzag or overlock stitch. That way you won't have threads coming out of the fabric ends.

Your shampoo sounds interesting--keeps the wool from shrinking on the sheep.
