I'm back from New Zealand. OMG, wool heaven! Accidentally *cough* wandered into an Icebreaker store located right in the Queenstown airport. Accidentally *cough* found various pieces here and there on clearance racks in various sporting goods stores in Auckland and Te Anau. Accidentally *cough* came home with, erm, about *cough* 10 *cough* more wool garments than I left home with. Whoops!
Yes, it's true! Icebreaker actually moved their main US headquarters to Portland a few months ago, and the Portland storefront is their only retail presence here in the US. Just opened about a month ago.
The Icebreaker "Touch Lab" is located downtown in the Pearl District on NW 11th, right across the street from Powell's and right on the streetcar line. They have all sorts of yummy woolies in stock, and they have one of those big pictures with face hole cutouts to stick your head through. So you can even get a photo of yourself as a sheep humping or being humped by another sheep. Classy!![]()
