I'd forgotten about it until the wool came out again this fall ...Originally Posted by mariposa
My Hincapie base layer is tissue-thin, as soft as any merino I own, seems to be durable although it's not that old. It's a tighter knit and not as stretchy as Ibex Woolies, but considerably lighter. I don't know the fabric weight. It also runs just a tad smaller than Ibex.

No passport, no REI, no TE get-together for me in Seattle. NO WOOL!!! (Well, ok, I have other sources... But I will hold on for a few weeks until I can visit.)
Have fun!

REI, one of my favorite places!! I succumbed to new wool gloves (smartwool liners plus a wool-blend glove by Outdoor Research). Almost got a new Smartwool baselayer but opted instead for a Patagonia capilene crewneck. Nothing was on sale, of course, but I used my 20% coupon for a break on the top.

Option #2 - deal with sick cat
I had to miss the fun this time - and take my sick kitty to the emergency vet - seems his diabeties is a bit out of control, apparently just because he's a cat.
So the money I might have spent on wool, went to him, my lover boy.
