It was 48F when we left for our run on Friday. It was my first run of the season in wool! I wore my ultra light smartwool jersey and after the first couple of chilly minutes, it was the perfect choice.
Yay for wool running season!!My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom

I can't advise you on sewing, but when I was still doing a lot of needlework I found some nice wool fabric that I used for surface embroidery from a company that specialized in period reenactments. They sent me a swatch so I could look at it before I ordered a couple of yards of it.
I am sure you will find more traditional sources, but wanted to mention this as an option. Sounds like fun!

I may have made this comment last year on Rosh Hashanah, but yesterday, during the service, when the rabbi was asking all of the participants who were going to blow a shofar what kind of animals the horn came from, when one participant said, "Ibex," DH and I looked at each other and started laughing.
I think this is called a cognitive distortion. No one else around us in the synagogue was laughing...
I guess this means I am really a wool weenie.2015 Trek Silque SSL

Oh, MY!!!!!
Smartwool is making a footless wool tight! http://www.titlenine.com/product/735...artwool+tights
Must have! Must order! SusanO, sell these on TE! PDQ! S'il vous plait!
I love footless tights. I love that I can wear them a couple times between washes without stinky-foot syndrome. I love that I can wear socks over them without having the "two layer slip-n-slide" effect inside my boots. I love that I can use them as longjohns, sleep in them, walk around the house in them. I love that the heels and toes don't wear thin and sprout holes (since they don't have feets) and cut their lives short. I love that I can wear them with a skirt and flip-flops.
Seriously, if TE sold these I'd be ordering them right now."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
