Wool is also naturally fire retardant and won't burn until it reaches about 1100 degrees F. A spark will char the fiber and then self extinguish. It's the super fiber!Sheepmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305606349971026553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-21700667717979921682019-02-08T21:33:11.009-05:002019-02-08T21:33:11.009-05:00Good experiment! :)Good experiment! :)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-63164805960306678742019-02-08T21:03:56.765-05:002019-02-08T21:03:56.765-05:00Hooray for WOOL!

The next day, which made it up to about 5 above, I chose a heavy cotton sweater. Both days I wore a turtle neck under them, wool socks, wore my wool coat, a wool shawl under the coat and my wool mittens. On the coldest way, the wool kept me toasty warm (almost too warm). On the "warmest" day, I felt a little chilled by the time I got to work. Just the substitution of the cotton sweater over the wool one and it wasn't nearly as warm. I have the feeling my cotton sweaters are going to become tote bags.Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975914715434063083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-47593594049148317902019-02-07T14:32:58.324-05:002019-02-07T14:32:58.324-05:00I loved the pictures of Hank yesterday!

I wear them in the barn, for hiking, for everything. They are GREAT! I get them wet all the time when draining the hose, and they are still toasty warm. Even when twenty below zero last week!!!! Regarding hose draining, you must have a much more cooperative hose than I do. Even if I drain the dang thing three times, there is always some residual drop of water that seems to freeze, multiply and cause HUGE problems. Every day, I drain the hose out, coil it up, and bring it in the cozy living room of my house before I dare use it again!!! The hose knows!!farm buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02746039869965536774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-78242028206298206272019-02-07T13:45:11.892-05:002019-02-07T13:45:11.892-05:00I saw a bit on the weather channel the other day, ...I saw a bit on the weather channel the other day, where they compared clothing made of different fibers when wet and cold.<br /><br />Cotton -- wet and cold! Synthetic -- wet and cold!<br /><br />Wool? Warm! They said that there was something about wool fiber that actually generates heat when wet.<br /><br />Yay, wool!!!<br />I need orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819543886910857718noreply@blogger.com
