I'm aware that that there are different dyes available for protein
fibers. But according to some websites many people do use Procion dyes
on wool, they just don't get exactly the same colors. And I have lots of
Procion dyes already, so why buy more dye?

But you can't use the same dye (that dyes cotton in cold water) to dye
wool. Different chemicals.
Rit and other dyes like it have both types in the same package:
cellulosic dyes (for cotton, linen, hemp) *and* acid dyes (for wool,
silk, mohair). That's one of the reasons Rit dye takes so long to rinse
out. If you dye wool, you have to rinse out all the unused cellulose dye.
