A tip given to me by a good friend from ex uk special forces.
It really works too

I'm a knitter who works with different wools and wool/alpaca blends. For my pricklier garments, I soak the items in hair conditioner, rinse as usual, and find that the items can then be worn next-to-skin. So if you can't use or find lanolin, give hair conditioner a shot.
What brand of hair conditioner do you use? Or does it matter?
@@ven-1972 It doesn't matter, fortunately. :) Anything that softens hair will work. I've used whatever was on sale.
@@bostonmama2226 awesome, thank you 👍👍
It can be the entire hat?
@@MicahHampton-yh5wj Yes, it can. I've soaked entire sweaters.
there are still folks who use woolen nappy covers for infants. Lanolin is used to keep messes inside of the cover and off your rugs and upholstery. Using lanolin dissolved in warm water will let the oil inside of the fabric and not leave a greasy surface. The important detail is to use warm and not hot temperatures. Then dry the wool using air only and not a clothes drier. The same technique can be used for a woolen blanket. Lanolin not only removes the itchy scratchies but adds a water resistant property. Be careful with how much you use since air trapped in the wool is what makes it warm. if you replace it with oil it wont be as warm.
Soft sheep wool and lanolin oil. Shear the sheep, then wash out lanolin from the wool, making scratchy wool. Scratchy wool made into fabric. Then reinsert lanolin back into a sheep wool fabric (minus the sheep), making softened wool. Go figure!
Great tip, 🐑 lamb 🥩chop. Mint🌱 works on chops but not the wool.
i would suggest testing the lanolin on the soft part of your inner arm 1st some folk are allergic to lanolin, they stopped using it in the more expensive shampoos because of this reason, so if not sure check before you put a hat on covered in it :) aside from that thanks for the tip funky much appreciated :)
lanolin, like baby butt Vit A/D ointment (that is the lanolin smell is that Vit D. Modern production of Vit D is made by UV irradiation of lanolin, turning it into chalcholesterol (pro-VIt D and androsterone). So if someone is allergic to lanolin, then they are allergic to Vit D (!). And this Vit D is non-toxic as it is not fish liver oil (Vit A and D). And I have taken doses of this for 100,000 IU for years - with no harmful effects. Great covi, cold, and flu fighter.
Greta info. We use to do that to our watch caps while we were standing watch out on deck aboard ship. in 1976 while we were out to sea, the chief obtained a large green can of Lanolin, he brought it down to the berthing (Crews quarters) we all did that to our watch caps. It does work.
Thanks Funkey
All the best.

They say you learn something new everyday and this was a top notch tip ~Peace~
cheers funky, good tip! I find my head itches even wearing polyester wool hats
Someone gave me a "sand" coloured Kashmir beanie Totally the greatest one I've ever had
That's why I love Watching your Video's cause I can be 90 years old and still learn something? Thanks!
Are u alive now
@@psluxx 😂
That will also improve the water repellent characteristics of the wool.
Dacstein makes world famous wool mittens, socks and swesters.
They boil the wool in lanolin.
I've owned several pairs of their mittens, they are the best.
brilliant video darren , well worth knowing especially as i wear a wooly hat in the winter a lot ,cheers mate
Good video. Your suggestions work for me, but not some people. Be aware that in a small number the folks, the problem with wool goes much beyond itching. Everyone in my wife's family (Mother-in-law, my wife and son are terribly allergic to wool and break out and have trouble breathing when near anything from sheep, including lanolin. The allergy goes much beyond itchy or red spots...but their bodies swell up could possibly die. They must look at all body care products to make sure that nothing from sheep is included... one touch of lanolin or wool fibers will cause them to go into allergic shock.
Thank you for this!! I have a couple of Afghan hats that were unwarable until now.
I just have such thick long hair it can't get past it.
This is very cool Darren ;) Never seen this! Thanks my friend!
Hairspray, aqua-net. (brand name in the US. ) Spray the inside if the hat a couple times before you wear it. Lanolin can be oily and will cause the hat to be less warm. FYI it will also keep insects from laying eggs and out of the hat.
Perfect, I have a great deep cold wool watch cap, but dread wearing it cause of the itching, great solution, I guess its replacing the lanolin thats in the wool when its on the sheep before its processed :).
Will get some on order :) Thanks
Mr. Funky (Darren), I've really been a big fan of your videos for some time. I wanted to be your 30,000 subscriber but missed that chance (wouldn't you know it, work intervened - quite inconvenient, actually). I subscribed today trying to hit that 34K mark but should have jumped on-board much sooner.
Want to thank you and the famous foursome (you, Roach, Mindwiseman & LW) for all the great info and the time & energy you invest into these videos and the work to edit them into an entertaining and informative package.
But, the real reason to leave a comment was to wish you and yours a Very Happy Christmas and a Joyous, Healthy & Prosperous New Year!!! Hope your good wife is doing well & has recovered totally from the unfortunate happenings earlier this year!!
ATB from a fan from across the "pond"!! Hope you continue these well into the future!!! Stay Funky, forever!
Thanks, Fred
thanks very much fred
nice one - the contest is still open till the 31st
cheers
God tip, the old ones are always the best. but lanolin is what was left in after the processing of the wool my gran used to look for when buying wool to knit me my winter jumpers, and they itched like chuff even through my vest and shirt, but would shed water like a modern day swanni ! that's what lanolin is a sheep's natural water proofer but I agree it has a distinctive odour.
at the end of the day the itch from wool is down to the size of the individual fibres which is why merino virtually doesn't itch, unless you are a very sensitive soul.
new here but really enjoying what you put out.
thanks for the inspiration to keep pushing I have kidney failure n cancer but u help good man thanks best wishes from the u.s
Hey try BABA RAMDEV'S =(MEDICINE NAME) = PUNARNAVADI MANDUR =AYURVEDIC MEDICINE FROM INDIA AVAILABLE ONLINE
thank you for the advice!!
That's a great idea, Thank You
Thanks for the tip Darren. I don't have a problem with it, but April does, so this is a great tip for her, thanks a lot buddy, cheers and Merry Christmas
Thanks for sharing this tip. I appreciated the common sense approach.
This is a great tip, thanks!
Great tip, thanks mate.
Great tip, all natural. thanks mate
Hate to tell you this but that Dax wax simply CONTAINS 100% pure lanolin. Look at the ingredients. It’s mostly Vaseline. I fell into the same trap. Easiest way to get pure lanolin in the UK is nipple cream.
Hi Darren! Just wanted to drop a note and Say MERRY CHRISTMAS to you an your family!
That's beanie love man, cool............ & with the lanolin, don't be surprised if border collies start to herd ya ..
Thanks for the tip :)

Fantastic tip, always been a problem for me ill check this out.
Very good tips as most of my hats and socks are wool. I did a quick search for shops that sell lanolin, doesn't seem to be very common here in Sweden (strangely enough). What kind of shops do you guys find this in?
Christ... Dax Lanolin! That takes me back. My old dears use to use this stuff on my hair when I was a kid. Very good for afro hair. Conditions it and keeps it soft. Very greasy though. Use too much and ull be leaving marks on the high back arm chairs.....excellent tip for the woolly hat Mr Funky. :)
great videos over the years thanks for sharing buddy. happy xmass ta u an family .
Really funky tip there, mate. Thanks
Nice tip Darren. I shall try this.
I like the 1st Cav patch! That's my old home, 1/82 Field Artillery Headquarters- 1/5 Cav. Scouts.
Darren, that giant frying pan behind you reminds me of the overseeing computer eye in the movie Wall-E. LOL! Good video on the wool, I don't find I have any itch problems with the wool gear I have and I wear my wool toque often. Carry on mate, stay Funky!
Wicking properties ? Isn’t that the idea of natural wool without additives.
Not really there's loads of materials that don't itch, this still works. Lanolin is natural from the sheep's fleece. The manufacturer removed if because of the smell. I just made it natural again
Didn't know this, top tip mate
Great advice B.
Thanks for the top tip. I wonder if they sell it machine soluble.
Nice video great tip thanks for sharing happy holidays atb John
You do know that lanolin is a by-product of wool spinning, don't you. It is in raw wool fleeces after shearing. The first process in making wool yarn gets rid of lanolin, and all the other crap from raw wool fleeces. Softens hands too, quite a lot. Raw wool sorters have the softest hands. letting you know !
I have a question... what about for handmade crochet wool beanies? THX
Great tip cheers Funky
Good advice..., --- Clark
i bought a shrunken woolly pully dirt cheap and used the hair conditioner trick to unshrink it
No way
Waiting for a Funky upload, and three come at once!
Thanks!
My brothers x made him a jumper of Herdwick sheep wool - it was full of Lanolin you had a greasy hand if you handled it but yes the water ran off it in the winter.
So if I do this and wear a ball cap underneath the wool beanie would it stain the cap?
Nice tip Funky💣
just put the lanolin in warm water and dunk your hat in :)leave it soak a bit and dry it out. job done xx
good video wool is king thanks for sharing
Do you do this once or how often?
Excellent :-) Personally, I can't wear wool against my skin because the lanolin irritates my skin... but this would be brilliant for normal people. I did not know you can buy lanolin - do the same treatment on the outside of the hat too... it's the natural lanolin that makes wool water resistant :-)
Thanks for the tip I just bough my 100 % Lanolin,I hate that itch!
Thanks, my berets were making my forehead itch really bad
This will work in synthetic material hat?
Will this work for non wool hats? All hats itch my head.
funky must be on holiday lol havent seen anything new lately lol god bless and enjoy the season
Brilliant , might even try it on my underpants funky , all the best matey, :)
I wouldn't use antyhing else than organic lanolin. Lanolin/wool grease is not dangerous in itself, but when the wool is treated, it is often sprayed with various pesticides that contain neurotoxins and carcinogens. This is then found in the product that we apply to the skin and where the contents are slowly moved into the body.
My work logo beanie hat isn't make of wool. But still itches after an hour. Would this still work even though my work beanie isn't made of wool?
Thanks
One way to find ouy
@@funkyprepper Haha very true. Will try it
good one
1st Cav patch behind your right shoulder
does the smell go away?
I'm sure Lanolin comes from the boiling down off the wool fleece.
ok just bought a felt hat can I use lanolin on it?
eh.........Fleece is good. I work outside and the rain doesn't get in. But a good tip I have ordered 2 wool hats and as for myself am worried about the itch.
I’ve heard that lanolin is also what give wool it’s water repellency.
Yes, that's correct.
I'm thinking there maybe a better way to apply this. I have not used this method with lanolin, so let me know if anyone has tried and it does not work.
Ok so I was thinking you could boil a pan of water and place pan to one side and put the opened jar into the pan with the opening not covered by water. This would melt the lanolin enough to be used with a horse hair or boar hair brush. Not one of those synthetic brushes. Paint the lanolin onto the inside of the wool hat and allow to dry for say an hour.
The lanolin would be dried on the surface of the wool hat at this point but to allow for full absorption for a second layer of lanolin you could use a hairdryer to heat the surface which would allow the wool to absorb the layer to create a perfect non itchy hat to last a whole season without any more applications needed.
Great video, liked Subbed 🔄
Can you educate the uninformed on the SAS smock?
Would it make my hair greasy?
It'd make your hair super soft 👍
Does this make your hair greasy?
Americana
How about wearing it on the outside of your baseball cap, that''ll work.
sno seal
Won't it make your hair greasy??
nothing worse than an itchy head lol 😉
