Ok, thanks for the explanation. So a shirt that's labeled "100% MAPP merino wool" is 100% merino wool ...I guess?Quote:

If the label on an item says "100% merino wool" then that's what we must assume it is.
Oooooh, title and author please? I love agricultural history!Quote:

Yes that's like an hour from me...and I never seem to be able to get there! :( Always something conflicting on my schedule. this year too- my husband's big family reunion that weekend in Mass. (can't miss it- the first time my husband will have seen his cousins, aunts and uncles in like 35 years or so. !)Quote:

I know some of you don't like the boucle fabric - but I do. I have 4 Carrie hoodies and I LOVE them. I'm so excited that they've created a new style!!

lol. The thing I love about you guys is that you always make me feel restrained. I can now pat myself upon the back for only having 2 carrie hoodies.
I love them both though.
While I love the red on the new carrie, I think I prefer the old style.
I confess that I think I have enough nice wool stuff to last me already for a while without buying any new wool this winter. :eek: (in reality, i likely have enough wonderful wool to last me the next 10 years!)
The only thing that might have tempted me is some new Shak color I couldn't resist. But oh well, no new shak colors that appeal to me this Fall.
Can i make it through the whole Fall and winter without buying any new wool pieces?
I think I might only allow myself a thrift shop bargain if I found one.
Oh, for shame! :pQuote:

But that's soon to change...
I really want one of those Ride Like A Girl longsleeve wool jerseys that Terry is selling. But at $135, it ain't gonna happen. However, I'm keeping my eyes out for some that are a bit more reasonable, if not as cute.
I want that new Shak "jersey." But, it's $135.00. Probably won't be at any discounters, since it's new...
I think I might be buying some wool LS shirts, dressier t's like the Kate. I already have 2 of those, so does anyone have any recommendations for something similar? I really can't wear wool any heavier than that next to my skin; even the Kates start to itch me a little, especially if I am wearing a Shak over it.
The long sleeve pointelle is really soft and nice next to the skin (and it's on sale). It's a bit sheer though so while it's not see-thru, it may not be a good protection from a shak if you find that itchy.Quote:

I really need some wool Injinji socks.
Wish I could find somewhere around here that stocks them. I haven't been much in the mood for mail order lately. except for that big order I just got from TE
Running in the Ibex Izzi pants: not recommended!! I did that today and tripped by catching my toe on the bottom of the opposite pant leg b/c the pants are flared. At least this happened on wood chips in the park rather than on the pavement or on a rocky trail, so it was a soft landing (plus I wasn't going that fast). The pants are comfy and great for general everyday wear, but not so much for running (or am I just a klutz?).
Joneswares www.joneswares.com has several wool pants and tights that look like they'd be good for running in. I'm going to order the Trail pants (cuz I think I can wear them at work, on the bike commute, and for running) soon.Quote:
