It just seems to me wool priced it itself out of contention since the mid 1980's. The synthetics seem to be just as good, wash easily (don't use Cl beach) and cotton is everywhere. Just a simple observation over the years.
A few folks in the local club came back from 2 weeks in Scotland and was amazed at the number of sheep everywhere, but saying the local complained the wool was not in demand. Are the production costs to gather the wool extremely high compared to other fabrics? John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Tuesday, June 11, 2019 at 7:15:55 AM UTC-4, Mark in Beacon wrote: > > > Wool.
