WoolWeenies Club

[margo49]

Try being a wool weenie in a place where the summer lasts 8 months and the temps are 40 deg C plus (104 deg F plus) and winter gets "down" to about 10 deg C (50 deg F)... Am I discouraged? No, 1000X no. Wool is an Article of Faith. Wool will never let me down; even if it is wet (and we get 411 mm rain = 16 inches of rain a year!)

I have :
2 wooly winglets (= undershirts without sleeves; one merino and one black with silk round the neck- and arm-holes made in *Italy* therefore very sexy)
3 pure lambswool wool berets (one red of course and one military a la SAS)
2 cashmere/wool scarves (one in "my" tartan and one from Harrods)
2 bush shirts
1 handspun and knitted hat in natural black and white
2 merino-possum hats
1 merino-possum shawl in a glorious shade (blue-green)
1 pair merino-possum finger-ed gloves matching shade to the shawl and one of the hats (above)
1 pair merino-possum socks to match the other hat (above)
1 pair sheepskin mittens ( going strong since 1982)
several pairs of "Norse" socks, most darned beautifully
1 pair Perendale hand-knitted hiking socks
some rugby socks (had 15 pairs at one time in my misspent youth as they were cheap and colourful
2 pairs really pretty and feminine smart-wool socks from my Oct SS (who I am still figuring out)

I am so glad to have found this support group.
I thought I was the only one.
I live in a tiny place and there is noone like me here.
