cimoreneLast year we had a battle with the moths that eat wool. Because they prefer places that are undisturbed, most of stuff we lost was older sweaters that were already somewhat worn out: none of my favorite sweaters, because I wear them all the time.
But casualties included my merino leggings (warmer and so less often worn than the bamboo ones and silk ones) and my less favored long-sleeved merino shirt. For a while in the middle of last winter I was wearing a long-sleeved merino shirt every day, but I was already thinking I wanted a better one. The two I had were from Cubus and they're a little bit itchy, and the sleeves aren't quite long enough. I have four short-sleeved Icebreaker merino tshirts bought on clearance, and they are much nicer than all the other brands I've had, but they also are priced like it (they still all cost as much as long sleeves or leggings from another brand at regular price). Maybe I'll try a wool silk shirt this time. I was kinda thinking a thin turtleneck, but I haven't found any really good candidates.
