I know this is an old thread but i have been spinning for a few years now including poodle trimmings and others.
Would like to add that a washing machine that can be filled with HOT water and left to soak is a wonderful way to wash wool. Do not let it agitate, just soak in the soap solution and then spin dry and repeat as necessary to get clean and rinsed. Much easier. The wool will tend to not be itchy because harse chemicals were not used to clean it up.
