it depends what type of wool she used, if she used cheapy yarn (called wool but its actually acrylic) then you cant lanolise them but you can put them in a wash with some fabric conditioner and they will be quite waterproof, not as good as real wool by far, but they will do fairly well, ask her what type of yarn she used, whether it was 100% wool or acrylic. you can even get cotton and bamboo yarn which wouldnt work for longies because obviously they are absorbant

no probs hun, you'll probably find they do quite well during the day if you fabric conditioner them but wouldnt leave him in them overnight, wool is sooo expensive, if she had found some for £1 a ball, i wouldve been asking you to get me some LOL
