When weaving fine cloth, the warp is subject to a fair amount of abrasion. With fine wools, the abraded fiber can cause jamming and breakage.
One solution is to spin your warp from Cottswold : )
AA recommends gelatin. It works.
Modern professional weavers sometimes use polyvinyl alcohol. Sekisui makes a good one. However, preparation and application is a big deal.
Then there is No More Tangles:

Will Taylor told me about it. It works. I put a big cookie sheet on the floor under the loom, and just spray it on the warp.
It it the best ? Not sure. It seems to be good enough for current projects.
