Stinky Jerseys?

Hand washing, use baby shampoo not Woolite. Woolite is a detergent with conditioners added to make things feel soft. Baby shampoo is a mild as it gets plus it's lot cheaper.

I don't know if it's true for wool cycling gear, but I from what I learned (I knit) that one should use just regular (not baby) shampoo on wool, because baby shampoo is supposed to be gentle on skin, whereas regular shampoo is supposed to be gentle on hair, which is essentially what wool is. *shrugs*

you may be right about that. What I do know is that Woolite is full of junk.

Yeah. Woolite + wool= bad.
