does anyone else have this cover?

I don't have it but maybe you could give it a wash with Lavendar Eucalan?

I would recommend Lavendar Eucalan as well. It smells kind of odd when you are actually washing but once it is dry it smells really nice. Very soft Lavendar fragrance.

That's a Disana. They smell like that. It's just really strong sheep/lanolin smell you are smelling. At least that is what the really strong smell on mine was. It fades after a short time. Just use it and wash/lanolize as you normally would.

actually when I get in new natural wool, not only does it have bits of hay and stuff in it, but when I block it out (using the steam to make it stop rolling) it makes the smell come out, like wet dog/sheep. LOL it is just what wool smells like. I have had a lot of it different brands, different processes, all give that smell a bit. It fades greatly and you can't smell it at all once it is done and blocked, but there is one moment I want to gag. LOL

Thankfully it isn't a smell that stays with them, I have bunches of wool (obviously) and I have never had any customers complain about it either, so that might not be the smell your smelling. Try washing it, that should help!

I have that exact cover(LOVE IT), and I thought the same thing when I got it. My aristocrat smelled a bit like it too though. It's a gamey kind of smell. I koolaid dyed it, and now all I can smell is blue koolaid!! LOL
