Raw Wool to Roving #3 Dawn vs Unicorn Power Scour | Which is Best for Washing Wool Fleeces?

[@sondragingery5949]

As you go finer in fiber diameters, the lanolin increases hugely, (like moving more toward merino fineness.) To remove the grease with Dawn takes much hotter water, and can strip the fibers and alter the feel of the fiber. The Unicorn can take as much lanolin out at a lower temp, and it won't damage the fibers. I didn't know this at first, and really roughened up some lovely, fine and soft fleece I had.

That’s a great point that I think I forgot to touch on! I have found I can use a lower temp with power scour vs dawn.
