Wash new woolen garments before wearing them. Sometimes, the fibers in new wool can be slightly coarse or have residual chemicals from the manufacturing process that irritate.

Wash woolens with a gentle detergent designed for delicate fabrics. Handwashing is often better than machine washing to maintain the softness of the wool fibers.

Opt for high-quality wool garments made from merino wool or cashmere, which are typically softer and less likely to cause itching compared to coarser wool varieties.

Wear a layer of cotton clothing underneath your woolens. This barrier can prevent direct contact between your skin and the wool to reduce irritation.

Add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle when washing woolen. Alternatively, use a gentle fabric softener specially formulated for wool to soften the fibers and reduce itchiness.
