If you are using liquid detergent when washing wool, fill the washer/container with wather before adding the detergent. Then just stir it around and add the fiber. This will keep the problem with the suds down. If the fiber floats during rinsing, just gently press it under the water. The Second rinse should take care of the rest.
Fiber processors usually need to have the wool pretty much grease-free for it to pass through the equipment without breaking the wool. Grease left on the fiber gums up the equipment and makes it hard to clean. Some processors use a spinning oil which still allows it to slide through easily without gumming up the equiment, but it makes the fiber feel somewhat oily. It does wash out.
