Great to see you again! Have you subscribed to the RSS feed? You won't miss a thing if you do that. Also, consider following Retrodiva on Twitter for more good stuff.

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

Let’s be honest: wool can be scratchy, itchy, and just all around uncomfortable. It can be avoidable if you live in a warmer climate, but those of us who live in places where it actually snows miss out on the warmth that wool can offer if we choose to skip the itchiness. But now wool doesn’t have to be hot, heavy, itchy, or uncomfortable. A company called Ramblers Way is using technology to get rid of all the undesirable wool attributes while keeping all the great ones.

The “WINDspun” technology that Ramblers Way garments undergo offers the smoothest, most luxurious wool yarn in the marketplace. The result is an ultra-light line of worsted wool garments warm that both keep you warm but which also breathe naturally, meaning you can actually wear it all year round!

Because Ramblers Way is focused on an all-natural way of doing things, they use only sheep that roam across the United States, and are NOT pre-washed with chlorine in the typical “super-wash” procedure that most companies use, but instead a patented enzyme treatment is used in order to prevent shrinkage and keep the garments fully washable. In addition to being entirely American-made, Ramblers Way garments are all natural and chemical-free.

Soft, breathable wool that can be worn all year round? Yes, please. Just another reason why technology has a firm place in fashion.
