Jason Stucki Great research results! I have taken a liking to several merino wool products recently. I really liked the Minus33 socks, and Runderwear’s wool blended products. I’m excited to review some products in the next few weeks from an Australian company called Merino Country.

Brynn Cunningham Nice! Oops, I actually have the Merino33 socks, too, and forgot to include them!
