One of my favorite wool items cost me nothing and is also very sentimental to me...

My mother had a pair of 100% cashmere black gloves. She actually never got a chance to wear them, and they were brand new. She died two years ago and since then I use her cashmere gloves as liners inside my other various gloves in the winter- for both biking and snowshoeing, walking, whatever I do out in the cold for hours. They are not thick, but they are incredibly fuzzy and soft and cozy.
She would be so pleased to know she was still keeping me warm.
