I love wearing merino in the winter under my sweaters or blazers — it keeps me warm without being stifling, and given the fabric’s odor-resistant properties, it saves me a bit of laundry.
You can actually wear merino in the summer too! This wool tee from Icebreaker has the same comfort, breathability, and odor-resistance as its winter counterpart. Merino is great at regulating body temperature so you won’t overheat even as temps rise. This tee even has little details like offset shoulder seams to prevent chafing.
Icebreaker’s Merino Tech Lite II T-Shirt is $80 and comes in seven colors and sizes XS–XL.

Is anyone due this winter in a cold climate? I have an unused, very nice Finnish infant snowsuit that I never got to use which I’m happy to send to someone. Link to follow
I already cannot find winter sweaters to wear because they all contain at least 5% wool or cashmere and are unbearably itchy. Now wool is coming for my summer clothes too?
Can any moms of kids recommend any great sleepaway camps? I asked on the main page also but figured I’d ask here. We’re non-religious Midwesterners and no one does it near us. My son is almost 12, not into competitive sports at ALL, and smart/nerdy in that D&D way.
