I use 100% wool a lot and I always put it through a hot wash (sometimes a boil wash) before I do anything with it. Depending on the size of the piece it may also go in the dryer as well.

I haven't managed to ruin a piece yet :-D (I treat silk in the same way >:-})

worried I might mess it up. I was thinking--Cold water, tumble dry low. Is
that OK?
