Len, If you were to purchase a Woolistic jersey, you would receive a set of instructions that specifically recommend _against_ using Woolite for the garment, and use Ivory Snow instead.

I have 2 of their jerseys and received teh same instrucions for both. So while Jerry may not know _why_ this is the case; and neither do I know why that's the case; it nevertheless _is_ the case.

I suspect that it's simply a milder detergent - whatever "mild" actually means in this case. Such is life.
