HiBOB.
FWIW, some wool garment companies specifically recommend against Woolite.
That is the reason I originally went with the liquid Ivory Snow...

Thanks very much, everybody, for your suggestions. It's good to know
there are plenty of options.

Our Bosch front loader came with a sample bottle of Woolite HE, seems
appropriate for cycling woolies.. We've been using Tide HE powder for
the rest.

I've washed wool dress trousers in Kookabura and they've come through
without damage, just in need of pressing. (These wool dress trousers had
been converted into knickers, but the proof is the same.)

I can second Ryan's recommendation. I have used the Ecover Delicate in
a HE washer with absolutely no problems. They even say right on the
bottle that it's suitable for HE:

I've never used a HE soap in my front loading machine in 12 years.
I've always just used half the amount of soap. Most laundry soaps
have instructions for front loading use these days. I use anything
from Tide unscented to Bio-Kleen. . . they all work fine.
Check the Ivory Snow label for starte
I've washing my woolies with Ecover delicate wash in my Asko for over
a decade with no complaints.

Riv's own Kookabura Wool Wash works fine in my HE washer/dryer
combined. In fact, it works so well with the woolens, I use it as the
pre-wash on my regular washes. Nice organic smell and really does the
job.

Hey Bill,
I have been front loading since about '97. I have used liquid Ivory Snow
many times with no ill effect. I think I generally use about 1/2 the
recommended amount, but you would just adjust for sudsiness and throw in an
extra rinse if it was a particularly bubbly load...

On Mon,
If you can find it, I've used Bio-Pac with great success.
That said, here's the secret about HE detergents and front loading washers:
you need less soap. A lot less. Seriously. For our Bosch, we kept having
error after error after a google search revealed that Bosch tech support had
