I recently used Dryel in the dryer to freshen up a wool kilt. Prior to that treatment, I re-basted the pleats. When it came out of the dryer, it not only was better smelling, but it only required touch up ironing and the pleat creases were where they were supposed to be.
One of the ladies (and I use that term guardedly, per Shay's request ) posted a link to intructions for cleaning a kilt. One of the things that struck me was the instruction to agitate by hand very gently (read: pat gently while the fabric lies in still, shallow water) because washing wool will "felt" it. I'd never heard that before; I thought all I had to do was avoid heat!
