I'm not officially a wool weenie because I haven't tried it yet. Reading this forum has thoroughly convinced me, though.

I am trying to put together a wardrobe of commute-worthy clothes for this fall and winter, but can't afford the likes of Ibex or SmartWool. Today at a local consignment shop, I found two Pendleton washable merino wool turtlenecks - one red and one heather gray. Brand new, with tags still attached. The red one was $10. The gray one has a little hole in the neck part, and it was $5. Good start, huh?
