Thought I'd pop in and say hi since you have all influenced me already! Love wool, I'm a knitter and I usually would have these conversations about skeins of yarn but now I can converse about merino bike clothes. I've been plotting my commute debut for the year and want to thank you for reminding me that wool resists odors. Can't tell you how many times I've gotten an off odor from a synthetic after a workout. Seems to be something that gets embedded in the fibers as I haven't found a detergent that eradicates it. Plus I stick with 'free' types of detergent.

Anyway, started at Goodwill last night, then moved on to TJs and found that I had missed sweater season, they were all sold off or packed away. Used a Sierra Trading coupon for a bunch of wool socks then scored a couple of merino base layer tops at Overstock. That will get me started. "Thanks" for bringing Neve to my attention! While none of those sweaters made it into my Sierra cart I will keep that brand in mind for sometime when the budget allows new work clothes (not often these days!).

I could and have (in my head anyway) wax poetic about wool in all its sheepy goodnes. Is the trend in synthetics a plot? :-)

your friend in wool,
Linda
