I have never used Woolite, so can't comment from experience, however I have read 'never again' on some of my knitting lists after using it - I think loss of colour is one complaint.

If you want to re lanolin a garment then get it really clean first, as the last thing you want to do is to seal in the dirt or stains.

For knitted things you use a small amount of lanolin and soften it in warm water in a preserving jar, then break it up by putting the top on and shaking - this takes some effort and I suspect that adding a little detergent might speed the process, then work the results through the damp garment on a board or in a bowl.

That is how seaboot socks and oily jerseys were reproofed, I am not sure that a kilt could be done the same without getting it very creased.
