Washing a wool coat

Ok, I've had this gorgeous black wool jacket for about 8 years, and lately dry cleaning is not getting rid of the..musty smell. :no: (when I moved to uni I kept it in storage with some other clothes). So instead of wasting another £25 getting it drycleaned I was thinking of washing it myself. Either by hand or the machine.
Our washer has an option for washing wool but I'm terrified of ruining it. Can anyone offer advice?

I suggest gentle hand washing in pure soap flakes, rinse it gently in lukewarm water and place over towels to dry out slowly.

Have you tried something like Febreeze? It should be okay with the wool, but I'd check first.
