I thought I'd add my take on the "warm when wet" thing since I wore wool on Saturday on a whitewater rafting trip (the Dryway on the Deerfield River in western MA). I was wearing an Icebreaker short-sleeve tee under a long-sleeved Icebreaker midweight crew, and the water was chilly (unfortunately I don't know the temp). The air temps were probably in the upper 50s at the beginning and then got into the mid to upper 60s later when the sun came out. I was in the front of the raft and therefore got pretty well soaked, and I was never cold (if anything, a bit warm as the air temp rose) except for one point where we pulled over to shore for a snack, there was a breeze and we were in the shade, and even then I only felt slightly chilly when standing still. The wet wool definitely didn't have that clammy feeling that cotton gets and didn't seem to cling nearly as much either. Overall, I think it's great stuff for wet conditions, the only disadvantage is that it takes longer to dry than some synthetics.

Sierra Trading Post has an unbelievable sale on wool Neve Designs sweaters--70% off.

I've got the Larissa (2) and Violet sweaters and they're great.

Thank you for the heads up, divingbiker!

I just ordered the Violet and the Ginger. They have a really good selection of sizes left, too.

I'm saving my wool money for a snazzy PI wool cycling jacket that's coming in the fall. Think Rapha.
I was at the shop when the rep came in with samples and went crazy for it.
