Rendering lanolin from raw fleece

Hi all,

 

I just got a nice Black Welsh Mountain sheep fleece, and I want to collect the

lanolin from it to

use in salves etc.

 

I was just going to use a very hot pre-wash/soak before the actual washing with

detergent.

 

Anyone have any other instruction or hints?

 

Thanks!

It will depend on part if you want to use the fleece afterward or

just get the lanolin. Too hot and with agitation may make it start

to felt and then it would not be usable.
