Wooly Bully

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

That song is not exactly about wool. From what I can gather, it’s about dancing bison who do have a sort of wool. This post, however, is all about wool. Wool you come along with me? (Har har).

I am no bison, nor a sheep, nor do I think I’ve ever owned anything wool, especially not a wool sweater. I do think I’ve known people who have touted the warmth of wool socks, however. Thus, I would expect a wool sweater to be warm, maybe too warm. I tend to overheat easily. It would probably be pretty heavy, to keep all that heat in but as I’ve never touched wool, I am open to being wrong.

Unless we’re talking about a sweater from Ramblers Way, a farm that specializes in
all sorts of wool products from camisoles to underoos. These wool products are thinner than I would ever expect and, if I saw only the images, I would never know that they are made from wool! The apparel is thin because the wool is prepared in a way that creates a super fine and smooth strand. This also prevents itching that traditional wool can cause.

Ramblers Way offers “Next-to-Skin” wool which they describe thusly:

From the moment you put it on, your body is draped in the sheared-elegance of superfine, 18.5 micron Rambouillet wool. Our worsted fabric envelopes your skin in sensual softness and warmth, while being thin and smooth enough to wear under any type of clothing, no matter how loose or tight, without bunching up or showing.

If that weren’t enough, these products wick away moisture and naturally repel odors. You can even request a complimentary fabric sample from the site. Eco-conscious folks can also get behind these products. Ramblers Way farms its Rambouillet sheep in the United States instead of importing wool. They also use enzyme treatments instead of a chlorine pre-wash. The company is community minded, too. They give back in the form of time and money.

I’m hooked!
