The legend. We had a small one for over 20 years and it was still going strong when we upgraded to a larger pot.

Reply to 20-50+ year old authentic raw wool Cowichan sweaters by HollowBambooEnt

These are handspun as well as hand knit which is why they are so expensive. I believe the yarns are also naturally colored (no dyes used). From what I’ve seen of these sweaters the yarn is not tightly plied as it’s spun, so it would be more likely to felt if washed. I would very gently wash by hand in room temp water and a gentle soap. If you can’t find wool wash, which is frequently found in yarn shops, a little bit of hair conditioner can work as well.
