WoolWeenies Club

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?

Geocam, great score on the Pendleton turtlenecks! Those consignment shops and thrift stores are a great place to look for wool wear. If you're handy in the sewing department, check out the mens section for wool pants. It's usually not too hard to find a pair or two that can be hemmed into a nice pair of commuting knickers.

I think we all love finding wool treasures in thrift shops and Salvation Army!
I love the thrill when I see a likely item for $5 and look at the neck label and see "100% Merino Wool" Or better yet, the more rare "Cashmere" find!!!

I have lots of second hand wool, they make great undergarments for winter rides if nothing else!

Oooooh....we're going to New Hampshire for the weekend, and will be taking our bikes. Forecast says high 50's daytime, in the 30's at night.


IT'S WOOL TIME.
