    Even here it is still cool enough to wear my azure merino-possum shawl for my dawn meditation.
    However you are right, madscot, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of W-o-o-l, our Chosen Fibre of everlasting warmth and comfort (even when wet).

    Today on top I am wearing TWO merino base shirts and then a Terry polyester hoodie over that. On the bottom I am wearing Underarmour tights with Ibex merino leggings over that. Going out walking with a girlfriend later and it's damp and grey out there, about 45 degrees. I'll be snuggly.

    I am still being true to wool.

    I actually plan to get some sleeveless merino tanks for the summer to see how that goes. Never wore wool in the summer before- i'm betting it will be great- no stinkiness! I would be a perfect candidate for it, since i don't sweat very much and don't get overheated easily.

    I'm still wearing wool all the time.

    I now have 2 long-sleeve wool shirts, 2 3/4 sleeve shirts, 2 short-sleeve shirts.

    (plus all the other wool stuff and wool turtlenecks)

    I can go an entire week wearing nothing but wool shirts. (and since they don't have to be washed until I've worn them 3 or 4 times, my laundry days have shrunk considerably)

    When I wear a cotton shirt now, it feels weird.

    my mother has gotten into the act. she found a really nice slightly shrunken rose lamb's wool v neck sweater for me at goodwill. it's nice enough to wear
    as a top layer, but will be nice as an undergarment as well.

    DH will not ride with anything except wool socks even when it's warm. another convert.

    I have been addicted to wool since I was first introduced to Icebreaker in New Zealand. I'll admit it. No polypro in my closet!

    Is all the iobio 100% wool? I'm having trouble with their website on my Mac. Do you have any of their stuff?

    Well, they are trying so hard to be uber cool, that they are even forgetting to actually tell us clearly whether the apparel is 100% merino wool or not. Hello???
