I did try a few woolish items last year with the same effect. I even tried the Gap one that Angie recommended. She also has sensitive skin but could wear it. I could hardly keep it one for a minute.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have tried various things previously such as woolite. I even read that if you froze the item it would remove the itch - urban myth I think as it did nothing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh well - I have now decided not to buy any more wool whatsoever. So - lesson learned and not wasted on me....hopefully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-vc-sweater-has-to-go-back#post-983177 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:05:28 +0000 Anonymous 983177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sad. Someone pointed out to me last year that trying on a cashmere sweater in the summer might produce itching, whereas in winter, our pores are closed more and the wool is not as irritating. Any chance this is the case for you? Did you wear wool successfully last winter, for example?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-vc-sweater-has-to-go-back#post-983169 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 22:52:26 +0000 Marley 983169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what a bummer!&nbsp; Its a beautiful sweater - but I "get" it about the wool/cashmere thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-vc-sweater-has-to-go-back#post-983104 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:26:59 +0000 Raisin 983104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Boo! &nbsp;Too bad, because I bet it looked really great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-vc-sweater-has-to-go-back#post-983074 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:09:11 +0000 Anonymous 983074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a great sweater. What a shame. The wool may feel better when it is cold. I can't tolerate it this time of year...one reason NAS is difficult...but it can feel wonderful when it's bitter cold. Anything with angora is out though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-vc-sweater-has-to-go-back#post-983063 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:03:31 +0000 deb 983063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wool does the same thing to me. It is a beautiful sweater, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-vc-sweater-has-to-go-back#post-983062 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:02:51 +0000 Beth Ann 983062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful.&nbsp; It's so frustrating to be close to the perfect item, I know!&nbsp; I've sworn off wool because it's just too warm for me, although some of the lightweight merinos are said to be great for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-vc-sweater-has-to-go-back#post-983040 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 20:45:33 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 983040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I wondered about that myself the last few weeks - it seems like lately any little bit of wool has felt like rubbing a Brillo pad on the skin.&nbsp; &nbsp; I thought there was a way to sort of 'neutralize' this effect - maybe Woolite?&nbsp; Does anyone know if you can soften wool up a bit?&nbsp; It would be great if you could keep the sweater.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-vc-sweater-has-to-go-back#post-983027 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 20:29:39 +0000 Suz 983027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh....so sad.

I love it....but ....it doesn't love me. It has the smallest amount of wool - really small. But that is enough to make me crazy, even with something underneath. I guess nothing ventured but I think it is now time to give up on all things wool, cashmere etc. </p>
