Dumb question time -

Since I don't normally wash wool at all... Do I pre-wash wool fabric before sewing?

I normally clean it, in hot water and hot dryer, before cutting and sewing. I am assuming here that this is for a set of garb though. If not, then perhaps the answer is different?

It is for garb, but it's a pendleton wool twill, that I really don't want to felt. So I'm thinking maybe gentle cycle, hang to dry. Wherever I can find to hang 5 yds of wool!
