Hm... Village Herb Shop in Blue Ball, now taken over by a new owner
(Lelani Buckwalter) has lanolin. I'm working under the assumption that
it's real lanolin and not synthetic. I have some that has been sitting
around the house-- I'll find it try to get it to you by
Eisental-Hartshorndale express.

I would experiment with working with it like shortening...
