  1. Minus33 Supports Search and Rescue Teams, Gives Your Old Wool New Life

  2. In winter I always suffered from cold feet. So this time I decided to buy some winter socks. Up until now I only used normal socks and indoor shoes.

    Damn why did it take me so long to buy some merino wool socks?

    What a comfy and snuggly warm difference.

  3. Started watching "Keuringsdienst van Waarde", a Dutch show on NPO. I learnt that in Canada, for Merino wool, they:

    a) Cut off the skin on the sheep's behind, to prevent them from being eaten alive by flies because their feces will get stuck in the wool.. It's called Mulesing.

    And b) It's our own fault because we're breeding them with lots and lots of skin flaps (more wool per sheep!), causing these unsanitary conditions in the first place.

    Money really corrupts.

  4. Merino sheep are among the most exploited breeds in the wool industry, suffering greatly from genetic issues and harmful practices. 🐑🧶 #merinowool #wool #sheepswood #merino #animalrights

  5. Working with the softest pure merino wool I have ever felt! Divine colours, too - this reminds me of the prettiest Australian native bird, the galah. From Leahcim Wool in South Australia.

  6. @saiga in onze jaren-'70 rottende betonnen blok was vorige winter de verwarming ook stuk. Deze winter is het er ook gewoon niet warm te stoken boven de 3de verdieping. Dekentjes, sjaals, skibroeken horen bij m'n werkkledij (mijn werk zit tussen bureau en niet geklimatiseerd labo).
    Hertoginnedal is niet het enige onverwarmde overheidsgebouw :/
    #MerinoWool is mijn tweede huid.

  7. I'm sorry if this offends some people, but when I wear my good socks, my #darntough #merinowool #socks I wear them two days in a row.

    I take them off while I sleep and turn them inside out. Then in the morning I flip them back and put them on.

    Yes this is a habit from #hiking and no I won't stop. They're very nice and I don't have enough of them in winter.

  12. Another birthday gift is stitched. This is the *free* Sunday V-neck (fridaypatterncompany.com/blogs). Thanks to #FridayPattern for their generosity. I like the curve on the raglan sleeve. #sewing #MerinoWool

  13. Finally! The merino vest is done. I'm particularly happy with the inner pocket detail of contrasting merino. I'll carry on with wool on the next project, a light stretch merino with 3% Spandex. The woolens are destined for one of my Colorado kids. #sewing #MerinoWool

  14. Details, details. I've spent time matching the plaid on this merino vest. The basted collar is cut on the bias so no obvious matching there. Taking my inspiration from @elfkin, I am finishing the exposed seams with binding. #sewing #MerinoWool As always, thanks to the great sewing community here on Mastodon!

  15. Current #Knitting project, the vacillate stole in #MerinoWool , #cashmere , #silk , and sparkle. It's been a fun and easy one!

  16. This scarf I made last year and wore this past winter and will be wearing it again this winter. It's about 8 feet long... made with alternating skeins of Noro wool yarn... it's soooo soft! #knitting #noroYarns #merinoWool #NoroStripedScarf #Ravelry ❤️

  23. @Heidi Not if you wear #merinowool socks! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ One of things I picked up from trekking and wear them on the daily.
