Thanks Tarbicus.
I have not tried the Nappy wash solution. I would be concerned that it might get rather expensive for the amount involved. Depending on how greasy a cloak you want, it requires a lot of lanolin be deposited in the fabric. In my case almost 2 pounds of lanolin. about 810 grams. That would be an enormous amount of something designed for washing nappies, plus dry time might be a problem. I didn't even consider putting this cloak in my wife's dryer. I value my life. ;-) )

Quote:It's nowhere near as good as marsvigilia's method, but there are lanolin solutions for making nappies more waterproof, which involves soaking the item in a bucket for a period of time. There are different products like shampoo, but one of them will impregnate virgin wool with lanolin. It's made by Ulrich Natürlich.
