WoolWeenies Club

Yesterday when I went snow shoeing, it was much warmer than it has been, so I experimented with some of my new wool. I didn't have to wear a jacket, so I went with my Smartwool base layer and Shak hoodie in bright red. I had on a light fleece vest over it for awhile, but it got way too hot for that. On the bottom, I had my Ibex boy shorts undies and the backcountry pants, with wool ski socks. Oh, and Smartwool glove liners, no regular gloves. No hat, either!
I felt so stylish being out there with no one to see me...

Ugh, we are generally having such a miserable cold winter this year, with lots of messy ice and sleet. No biking, and having to force myself out to do fitness walks most of the time. I would be enjoying the cold more if there was lots of fluffy snow to snowshoe in...but noooooo.

I am just so thankful for my merino wool clothing items- they keep me cozy and comfy no matter what. Have I mentioned how I love sleeping in my yummy Ibex wool tights and merino woolie or ribbie tops? mmmm.....
And thick wool socks slipping into shearling-lined boots....oooooh.....

My wool is making this winter more bearable for sure. And to think just a few years ago I had little clue about the wonders of wool- I used to layer up bulky acrylic sweaters and then wonder why I was still freezing.

Going to the Arcadian Shop is like you died and went to heaven. Just looking at everything takes a couple of hours. They have bikes and snow sports stuff, in addition to clothing, and a great cup of expresso...

I'm going to heaven this Saturday. Arcadian still has woolies crews in warm green. Since Ibex seem to have discontinued that color, I may have to get myself another green woolie while I can. Robyn, can I pick up anything for you?

No, thanks, Deb. I am banning myself from any more Ibex until next season. I have gone from last year at this time with one Ibex hoodie to 2 hoodies, 2 full zip Shaks, 2 Kates, one Icebreaker 1/4 zip, another Icebreaker full zip with a hood, and 2 Smart Wool base layers. I'd really like some woolies, but I don't *need* them.

Have fun, though.

How can you resist a woolie? They are my favorite Ibex pieces! I have to admit, I was tempted to get a that Juliet sweater now that it's on sale (argyle) but like you, I don't need it.
