Who likes wool?

I have found Wool is warmer wet then most other materials dry.

When I do wash my wool and I rarely do I use woolite, cold water and the most gentle cycle on the machine.  Hang to dry and your good.  I mainly use wool outer layers so that is why I rarely wash them...unless i dump a chili cheese dog on myself while ice fishing

Same here, I have gloves and pants that haven't been washed in 15 years! I just brush them off and air them out...

Geez Bart, 15 years with no washing and I could Smell you were here!

I wash mine with cold water and woolite and hang to dry. Fantastic material and I also love my red checkered "Buffalo" patterns and don't much care to make a fashion statement as long as I am warm. You can't go wrong with wool and goose down.

The new LLBean catalog just arrived. I like the tight fitting sweaters on the female models. So yes I like wool.

Wool retains up to 85% of their insulating qualities when wet.


Gamealot, it saves on hangers it stand up on their own! Most of mine are surplus military wool pants...

Bart, I'm with ya buddy.

The wool pants I was given 5 years ago....the only cleaning they get is when I get them wet on the lake lol.
