WoolWeenies Club

Oooh, I clicked on your link. What lovely stuff they have. Why have I not heard of them?? How does the quality and weight compare to an ibex shak?

Today my latest (and final before my trip) package of wool goodness came from REI. The soho hat kit is lovely. I like that the hat covers my ears, and while the gloves are probably a tiny bit small (one size and I am usually a womens L in gloves) but I can make do as they are stretchy. The pink set matches my arc-tyrex fushia parka beautifully, and it will also brighten up my other gray and black dress coats. And you can't go wrong with smartwool ski socks for less than $7 a pair. I am glad I held out for that last coupon though!

I am sitting here typing this in my ibex woolies bottoms, alpstar pants, rasberry ribbies crew and light purple shak. Its been COLD in san antonio, AM temps in the 20s and 30s. The alpstars really are growing on me. I worried they were a tad loose, but it just makes them oh so comfy over my woolies and ribbie. I think I will wear them on the plane they are so comfy. And they will be easier to care for while traveling than my dry clean only wool dress pants.

p.s. Crankin, let us know how the alpstar pant works out for you. I so hope they aren't too big.
