BO out of yarn?

Hi there!

I am a knitter and I am straight up ruining my wool sweaters because of my freaking BO. I've tried soaking in a no- rinse wool wash for long periods of time, soaking in diluted white vinegar, freezing, and letting it sit outside. Nothing works and I've had to undo multiple sweaters because I just straight up ruined them. Which sucks because I took so many hours making them.

Any suggestions are so appreciated. I did hear that spraying with diluted vodka works so I will probably try that, I just don't drink so I need to get some.

*This happens no matter what I do shower/deodorant wise as well so nothing I can do on that end.
