    Yes, friend, get it thoroughly wet, squeeze out the water, and wear it dry to conform to your head and how you want it to look on your noggin!

    Last night I soaked it in water for a little bit and then set it outside on my porch with a fan blowing on it. Before I went to bed I brought it back inside with the fan and set it up in the bathroom. This morning I checked it. It is smelling better. MUCH BETTER! I think I still smell a hint of the dust and smoke, but it is a HUGE improvement. When it is fully dry I'll let it sit out on its own for a bit and then check it again. If it still has the odor then I'll get some Woolite. But as of right now, there is a huge improvement. Thank you all again for all your help.

    If you do the Woolite bit, add a little hair conditioner to the rinse, it will help the wool get back some of its natural oils that are removed by the washing.
