I am pretty sure agitating is not what you want to do to wet wool unless you are hoping to create felt.
I would follow mac's suggestion here. A dip in lukewarm water to the ankles, worn and dried via a blowdryer might get your needs accomplished.

Unless, you (like me) happen to have considerably larger feet than ankles.
