Hi John667,
It’s so hard to determine what the issue may be, of course, you have to trust your judgment and instinct, it is always dependant on each person’s individual sensitivities. Have you experienced issues with wool in the past? I was actually reading more about wool allergy/sensitivity on this site Healthline article, just to do some additional research about this particular issue.
You can also read more about lanolin and wool in this wool sensitivity thread.
Do you mind mentioning what brand you purchased, as I would like to look up and see if there is any information on the type of wool they use? I imagine some wool that is “lower quality/value” or even higher value (purer) may factor in people’s sensitivities.
Look forward to any future updates.
