Sorry people, I missed this post before.

Good advice there by Rick.

Wool is unlike other carpet fibers in that how the fibres are made up.

DO NOT add oils to wool.

Wool is scoured prior to making into yarn (fibers) at around 140f to remove the lanolin, (wool wax/wool grease).

Scouring or washing is the first mechanical process that wool goes through, to remove grease and dirt from fleece.

Below is a pic of how a wool fiber is constructed.

Cheers all.

Thank you for those words of wisdom from "Down Under" Shorty.
Australia and New Zealand are at the center of the universe for wool carpet.
