>>1169706Merino wool or other soft-feeling wool (cashmere) is fucking fantastic. Expensive, but fantastic. The only thing I want is heavy merino wool base layers. Everyone only seems to sell the light and medium weight stuff.
>>1169758>ScratchyStop buying cheap ass wool for base layers, glove liners, and socks.
>Durable wool needs to be made of thick fibres, which are scratchy.My merino stuff has been going strong for years now. It lasts longer than my blue jeans. I really only use it for base layer though. Everything over that can be dirt cheap scratchy as shit wool for all I really care. Regardless, though the smaller finer fibers will be warmer. The difference in wear is negligible.
