WoolWeenies Club

Just wanted to report that I got the Ibex Switchback for my s.o. for her birthday(it's in May). Thanks for the heads up on the sale KnottedYet. Couldn't wait to give it to her, and she LOVES IT!!! She has fallen in love with the idea of wool and Ibex just as much as I have. So now she's a woolweenie too, we both check their site often for sales, as well as Sierra Trading Post, and drool:D And while she doesn't get involved with anything else I am reading on TE she loves to read the woolweenies posts.:D

Yay, another VICTIM!!!! :D :D

What color did you get?

Those switchbacks are great, aren't they?? Lovely, lovely wool.

DH gave me a Smartwool ZipT as one of my anniversary presents yesterday. It's so comfy.:) Sigh.
I feel kinda bad because I didn't have time to do any shopping for him, what with one of the kids being sick then getting sick myself. But he's sweet and very understanding. Anyone know of any kilt companies that make wool kilts (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg)?

I got her the cobalt blue switchback with the orange collar. Matches the colors of my road bike, but I'm going to let her keep it. She came home from work yesterday and said she thought about it all day, I don't think she's going to make it until her birthday 'til she actually gets it. Myself, I can't decide which piece of Ibex will be my first, but I am leaning toward the long sleeve bike jersey in orange, of course!

Icebreaker Sport Rock Zip Long Sleeve - Women's

I want... I want.... I want....

Rivendell MUSA pants in a lightweight wool twill. I'd pay $70-$80 for a pair. Maybe I'll send them a friendly little (abject begging) email.

Rivendell's wool long underwear bottoms are just as heavy and dense as Ibex's midweight long undies. But half the cost. Ummm, I think I'll be getting some when my cheap-rotten-crappy wool Duofolds finally fall to pieces. (wonder if Trek'll let me mooch off her $10 Rivendell coupon in the next Rivendell Reader?)

Oooh, I like Keven! He just called me to let me know my Glorius frame is coming in from the painter tomorrow, and my new bike should ship to me next week!

Now back to woolweenie business...sorry for the hijack.

new bike, that's our favorite kind of hijack. open a new thread when you get it and share the photos with us!

Yeah Baby....a new Rivendell GLORIUS!!! OOooooohhhh! :p :p :p


(and of course you'll need more wool wardrobe items to wear with that)

Trek and I saw Gloriousses and Wilburies at Rivendell this weekend. Lovely bikes!!

Ibex has their spring catalog up. They are carrying organic cotton now. The new seamless wool undies won't be up until fall.

My Ibex Twizel arrived today. Oh, my! this is a great shirt!

It's no longer on clearance ($30). Now it's back to normal price of like $80 or something. The fit is amazing, the fabric is great, and the stripes really aren't like a flashback to the 70's at all!

I knew I should have ordered the Twizel. It looked very nice and definitely not retro. *sigh* I will listen better next time.

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!


;) :cool:

Just got back from a chilly damp 25 miler with MimiTabby and her DS's DGF.

I love my wool.

Ibex hat, Ibex Norgie LS crew, Ibex Switchback, Ibex capris, Smartwool gloves.

My toes got cold. I didn't have wool socks on. Hmmm, maybe a lesson there? I put big juicy ragg wool socks on in the car with my Chaco sandals for the drive home. Nice and warm!
