If the wool has been steamed or kept just under a boil (so that the water doesnt ripple at all), then the wool should still be usable. A better option is to do at least two 30-minute soaks in small batches in water that is at least 130F. Pull the wool from the water, let it drain, and place it on a drying rack over a pan. Transfer the water from the first kettle to a larger kettle and boil it there for a while to remove most of the water leaving the lanolin. Do the same for the second soak and dump the water from the second soak into the larger kettle. Keep doing this as you progress through your fleece, and you shouldn't get any felted wool as long as you dont agitate it when submerging or pulling it out.

My yarn frays when I whip stitch my sweater seams. What can I use to put my sweater together?

Tie a knot at the end of the yarn to prevent it from unraveling. Also, fray glue can be found at fabric/crafting stores.

What do you do with the leftover ethanol infused water? Dump it down the drain? Pour it onto plants? Is there an environmentally safe way of disposing of it?

Some mechanic shops have safe containers for disposing of gas and oil. Autozone stores (among others) offer free disposal of fuels and oil. Avoid pouring them into the general environment.
