Pardon me if I'm in the wrong group, but I'm not sure where to post this question. (Redirection welcomed.)
I've long owned a natural wool fiber hand woven Irish sweater. Over the years, in trying to remove small stains, I've also removed the natural oil so that there are now some patches that show brighter than the original. Sorta like "clean spots," if you know what I mean. It's a very noticeable contrast with the original "worn" color tone. These areas actually feel less oily, too.
I'm looking for suggestions for restoring the oil to these areas, or perhaps treating the entire garment to return to the original look and feel. Seems the alternative would be to spray the whole thing with Shout, and wash. That'll produce a uniform color again, but lighter (and "dryer") than the original. I'd rather have the original, natural look and feel.
Is there a standard way to do this? If so, I'd appreciate suggestions for the type of oil and a method for applying it.
Thank you, Ron
