Don't be so harsh on the younger generation. They are a result of us helicopter parents. Some of them when they move out to go to college for the first time discover they don't know how to boil water either. Funny since they are so good with the internet, you'd think they would have done some research in Google first before reaching out.
Anyways, when you hang dry your wools, make sure the room temperature isn't too warm either. The water that's in your fabric will shrink your wool as it warms.
