I have just bought my first wool wrap, a stacinator. I have read through all the advice pages on the nappy websites and thought I was doing the right thing.
I bought some white vegetable soap and hand washed the wrap. I couldn't find any shops (other than online) that sold lanolin so I used a free sample of lansinoh nipple treatment that I found in the cupboard. It said on it that it was 100% pure lanolin so I thought it would do the job.
I melted it in some very hot water then added enough cold water to cover the wrap and left it to soak for a few hours.
The lanolin went clumpy and stuck to the wrap, I tried rinsing again with the soap then I rolled it in a towel and put it on my airer last night. The room now stinks of wet sheep, the wrap is still wet and is really sticky when I touch it! will the stickiness go when it finally dries or have I ruined the most expensive wrap I have ever bought!
