Wool is Back



BRRRR. It is early January in Minnesota and we are fighting to make it above the degree of 0 each day. Whether you call this weather brisk, invigorating or frigid, it is time to pull out some merino wool and get cozy and warm.
I’m so glad high quality merino wool is available now so we don’t have to wear oil based polypropylene or other synthetics to keep us happy in winter.
Merino comes in various weights. You can wear it as a base layer (underwear, leggings, tees) a mid layer (pullovers, tops) and a top layer (jackets, sweaters, jerseys). You can wear one layer over the other and feel toasty while you curl up with your book. And because merino breathes beautifully, wicks away moisure and does not hold odor, you will love it when you venture outside to try some skating, skiing or walking around or showshoeing over the lakes.
Try it. You have nothing to lose but your smelly, unnatural feeling synthetics.
