Hi Samm, yes you lanolise them, super easy. Some woprk without it, but all are better for it. The best soakers are made of the least processed wool and also my favourite is 30$ alpaca/70% wool in Australia it is called Paton's Jet and I love it, soft as anything, downsize it can shrink from felting just from wear, but if you account for this when 1st making by making slightly bigger then they are bombproof. I made Longies in Jet when Logan was smaller and his green dragin soaker is out of it as well :0)
