After reading the responses to my earlier post I got to thinking about what cloths I now have that are wool. ZERO!!! I remember having a wool winter coat in the sixth grade. It would rub my neck raw when I wore it. I left it hang all over town and no one would ever steal it. LOL I HATED that coat. It was warm but it was scratchy. I ended up wearing it for several years. I did get a new school coat in the seventh grade but Mom modified the old wool coat to wear as a work one. That old coat sure did hold up but it was just terrible to wear.
I don't miss wool socks either. They always would always slide down around your ankles inside of your boots.
My Grand Mother always wore a wool sweater. She wore a sweater just about ten months each year. She was used to house that did not have central heating so you did not keep the house as warm. She did like it warm though. I can remember sweating in the kitchen and she would have a full dress( floor length year round) and sweater on working. Makes me miss seeing her around the house/farm.
So I guess I am helping kill the wool market. The younger ones of us just switched to different materials that where warm but not scratchy. Also easier to care for too.
