Thanks for all the info!  I do have a sweater knit from greasy wool, but
didn't know that washing does not get out all the lanolin.  They must really
scrub it out of commercial yarns and fabrics.

So if we wanted to do something, we would need to use fabric we have made of
handspun, handwoven wool, correct?  At least for the lining of the
needlecases.
