the essence

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

What comes to mind when you think of wool? If you're like me then my first thought is itchy. Pretty, but itchy. In fact, when I've seen clothing that I liked & thought was so cute I've been put off because my former experience with wool is that it is quite itchy.

It seems I can now put my preconceptions about wool to the side. Ramblers Way is a company that specializes in superfine and worsted wool. Simply put, the way the company prepares their wool results in a superfine wool which is free of loose ends and gives you a soft fabric instead of the itchiness that is typical of most wool garments.

Besides being soft and light weight, I really like that Ramblers Way does not wash their wool in chlorine. They do pre-wash their garments but they use a patented enzyme treatment. This results in garments that are fully washable and will not shrink.

One more bonus: the clothing is completely American made. The wool comes from their sheep farms located on various ranches in the US and the company uses factories in New England and the Carolinas.

All of these practices result in excellent quality and eco-friendly wool garments.
