Layering with wool and why GSM matters

 

When I first started wearing wool, I thought they were wrong about it's warmth. I have since discovered using the GSM weight of my clothes and layering. Here's a primer with a bit of help from AI for you.

Am I still wearing wool?

The short answer is yes, all the time, all the items. I am so comfortable wearing wool and will never go back to synthetics. In fact, I cleaned out so many of my non-natural fiber clothes I found I had nothing to wear when I get my hair cut. Why does that matter? 

Natural or Not...

It’s not always cut and dried when trying to stick to natural fabrics. We know wool, cotton, and bamboo are natural while polyester and nylon are not. But what about rayon and some of the newer fabrics out there like TENCEL™ and Lyocell? And when does a wool blend lose the best attributes of wool? As the percentage of wool in the blend decreases, the loss of its desirable properties becomes more apparent. Let’s take a look.
