How Should Woolen Be Pressed?

Can I iron wool? Yes, you can iron wool. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric, then, set your steam iron to a cool temperature and press the item with your iron, then lift it up and place it down again. Avoid moving the iron back and forth as wool stretches easily and this could cause the item to lose its shape.
