Interesting points on the looser weave than this "minus 33" stuff.
Woolpower is the new name then? Thanks! I just know where their booth is but when it was $80 for a top and bottom, I bit. Now...it's considerably more so I guess the sheep went on strike for more wages?
That "loose weave" is so true... the co-owner told me the more I wash it the softer it will get! But they claim just hang it inside out, outside to air overnight and you can go weeks without washing! That real wool doesn't allow bacteria to grow to form odors.
I have not found that true if I work up a glow in the AM putting up a stand or humping a ridge line...
Thanks KSdan for starting this thread. Always so much to learn!
