WoolWeenies Club

Just a basic review.

Best thing about it is that it's RED since it seems most of the wool companies can't seem to get it through their heads that light long sleeve shirts are great single layers in the winter for cardio sports but black, white, gray disappear.

I've been wearing this lately as a single layer for running and love it. When I first received it I was worried because of the smell. I can't identify it but it was a very familiar smell to someone who walks into a lot of yarn shops, probably a result of the dye process. I washed it before running due to the smell and concerend that it would run on me, but most of the smell left and no dye stains. True to wool, I managed to get two runs out of it before needing to wash. The next wash should remove the rest of the smell.

The fit is nicely tailored for feminine curves so it's flattering. While I normally don't like all the graphics popping up on everything lately, the graphics are nice because I don't feel like I'm wearing an undershirt as an outer layer and they're tastefully just at the hips rather than across my chest.

The red is more on the pink side of red. Deep and luscious but not red red. I'm hoping next year they come out with the same shirt in purple or royal blue or even white. Tad on the expensive side compared to other similar brands, but so far I've been pleased with the purchase. I'd buy a second one if I had some choice other than black.
