Sheepish Grins

How many fans here love wool?  As you all know, I do.  If you know anything about wool, you know it has to be lanolized.  I have tried several brands of lanolin and wool wash.  My favorite by far is Sheepish Grins.  Sheepish Grins was the very first wool product I have used.  I find that it keeps my wool in great shape.  Sheepish Grins makes an entire line of wool products.  I currently use their solid lanolin, wool wash bar, foaming wool wash w/ lanolin and the creamy lanolin spray.  The first time I used the lanolin spray and foaming wool wash was for this review.  With your wool you should wash it and lanolize it before use.  I do that with all of my wool.  Sheepish Grins comes in all kinds of yummy scents and unscented. Sheepish Grins products are made in small batches with the best ingredients, so you know you are getting the best. They are also all made by hand.  I now use only Sheepish Grins for all my wool care needs.  I currently use the spray lanolin for holding me over until next lanolize day.  Just spray it on and let is dry.  I have been spraying the inside of my covers after I take them off of my daughter to extend the period between lanolizing.  I was lanolizing every 10-14 days.  Now with the spray lanolin, I lanolize every 3 weeks. Love this stuff!!!!

What exactly is lanolin, you might ask?  Lanolin is a greasy, sticky, yellow substance that is naturally made by sheep to keep their wool coat soft and dry.  Lanolin also helps to prevent bacteria from growing.  It is naturally antibacterial.  It is made from a mixture of cholesteral and fatty acids.  The wool is sheared off of the sheep at least once a year.  It is then cleaned and the lanolin is then extracted.  The best things about lanolin is that it is completely biodegradable, it is natural and no sheep are hurt in the process of making lanolin.  Since it keeps sheep dry it will act the same with your covers.  Lanolin also reacts with your baby's urine to neutralize it, kind of like a soap.  In a way they are self cleaning.  Because of this you only need to re-lanolize every 3 weeks or so.

Since you must lanolize your wool, why not lanolize it with the best!  Sheepish Grins is the best lanolin and wool care products I have used.
