Wovember Challenge Warmth

When we are talking about wool (Sheep’s) you can’t get a better fiber for warmth.  Most people are familiar that if they want to be warm in wintery months wool is the way to go, but it turns out the opposite is also true.  If it is very warm outside  a loose garment of fine wool is actually ‘cooling’.  Wool fibers will wick moisture away from the skin and help with evaporative cooling.  Who would have thought?  Wool is really a wonder fiber.  Even wet it will keep you warmer than any other.

So if you can afford to do it, buy wool for warmth in winter and very fine loose wools for coolness in summer.
