What detergent are you using? Have you tried any of the scented wool washes, like Eucalan, Laundress, and Kookaburra?
For wool, by hand in a tub with:

Lay flat to dry.
Sometimes you can get away with wool BLENDS in the dryer (depending on the specific one and the fabric care label), but I would never put a 100% wool sweater in a dryer, ever.
I do wash wool sweaters specially labelled as “machine washable” in the machine (on cold, on delicate, in a front loader with no agitation arm) and lay flat to dry, but that’s as far as I go. I’ve felted too many sweaters in my past to take chances.
I usually prefer just to fill up my bathtub a couple inches deep, add some wool-specific detergent and let my sweaters soak for twenty minutes or so while I’m doing other housework, then drain and rinse, carefully squeeze the excess water out, and lay flat to dry. Keeps them looking nice and fitting correctly for years.
You can wash it on cold in a gentle cycle if you absolutely have to throw it in the machine, but if you use hot water on it or put it in the dryer it will shrink and felt (felt = the fibers will basically meld together and the nice pattern on your sweater will be almost completely indistinguishable). If you need to wash it, though, the best way to do it is to wash it by hand with a special wool wash soap, something like this and then lay it flat to dry on a sweater rack like this.
I machine wash all of my wool and cashmere with The Laundress wool and cashmere shampoo on cold delicate in a lingerie bag. I find that my sweaters don't shrink any further after the first initial wash.
I have two and really want a third. I wore mine all the time last fall/winter/spring and they still look brand new. They haven't stretched out at all, and I've had them almost a year. I also wash them pretty rarely... like, maybe twice or three times each, since I don't sweat in them and they breathe really well. I use this to handwash them, and they come out smelling amazing and looking perfect.
I use a wool and cashmere detergent. This one in particular. Works well for me. Bonus, I finally hand-washed my cashmere scarf I've had for two years. And it's so soft!
What's a cheap way to launder wool/cashmere? I am so tempted to buy The Laundress Wool & Cashmere Shampoo - Cedar but it's expensive... is there a good alternative or is it worth the hype?
I have a fair amount of wool cashmere that I probably need to wash like 1 or 2 times per month.
I use this for my wool tzitzis.
