Our kitties show a very definite preference for lying on wool. If DH and I are sittin gin bed having our coffee, kitties will drap themselves on the one that is wearing wool, instead of cotton (or nothing). They love lying on real wool, they obviously have good taste.

Ours too. We just adopted a new shelter kitty and if I leave any wool lying around, he's sure to point it out to me by laying on it!. My black Carrie hoodie is permanently decorated with light grey cat hair, I think. Oh, and he seems to prefer the boucle fabric over the shak fabric. Silly cat!

At one point in time I was making kitty beds out of recycled wool sweaters (There's a Goodwill outlet in town - they sell everything left over by the pound....). I was finding the largest sizes I could and was washing them in hot water to shrink and felt them a bit. I kept two and my kitties love them, but I broke my sewing machine doing it and lost the impetus.... I still have some sweaters. I should start back up again.

Sadness! Catastrophe!

The brand new Tarrah I bought for myself before Christmas (from Ibex, of course!) has a hole in it. After washing it a grand total of twice. I was really disappointed, and immediately wrote to Ibex, who (of course) offered to send me a replacement right away. They asked me for a photo but I won't have to return the shirt since I'm in Canada. I thought that was pretty classy. I still offered to send it back in a bubble envelope (cheap), but they haven't responded to that.

So my sadness shall be taken care of. But I thought it was really too bad. Brand new! It's nice that they stick by their products though. The customer service rep who emailed me was really nice, and she noted (as I had enumerated my Ibex items I was fully satisfied with to her) that while there had been returns on tops like the pointelle (which I own) it was her first one on the Tarrah. Oh well.

I LOVE my new Smartwool tights. I think I might have found the brand that fits me best!

Our kitty likes my house sweater if I leave it where she can find it. It has an extra layer of warmth with all the kitty fur. I know she's just concerned for my welfare.

You all are lucky your kittens just lie on your wool. Sammy, my puppy, chewed up the sleeve of my ibex zephyr this morning. I guess it will become a short sleeve shirt.

Serves me right for leaving it where he could reach it.

Ack! Don't let it put you off wool, the way it put me off expensive sunglasses when my dog ate my Oakleys....
