There is a chemical de-scaling wash that some manufacturers use. Look for a garmet label which says "SUPER WASH" to find wool which has been de-scaled, as opposed to just undergoing a water/clapper fulling process to partially shrink the fabric. (SUPER WASH is an American Wool Assoc. label, so may not be applicable to imported woolen garments.)
