As for wool from sheep, I agree. Experts kept telling me to avoid all oiliness with the wheel. Sheep's wool is oily. One wouldn't ever put soap on the strings, for example. Oil and soap are closely related chemically. I have a llama. I doubt that would be different. No doubt that oil they produce helps to keep them warm. "Chemically, lanolin consists of a mixture of several sterols, fatty acids, and their esters... Fatty acids are typically found in plant and animal lipids (fat), such as glycerides, sterols, and phospholipids. They occur naturally in waxes, fats and essential oils. They are used in cooking and food engineering and in the production of soaps, detergents, and cosmetics"
