Wool

[msmemory_archive]

What is it with wool this year? Was it a bad year for sheep? Did somebody set import tariffs too high or something?

I went to JoAnn's Fabrics, and asked for help finding solid-color wools. They said they don't carry wool.
I went to Filene's, for a grey wool (or cashmere) scarf. They had one, which felt cheap despite being Ralph Lauren, and no others.
I looked through Lands' End's catalog, for a wool pullover sweater, crew or v-neck. Not this year, apparently, despite the Preppy look being "in."

What gives?

JoAnn Fabrics (says a former Asst. Manager) is a bunch of cheap bastards and the ONLY good thing about working there was they had so little stuff suitable for the SCA that I didn't speand my entire paycheck the second I got it. They've been phasing out natural fibers for years.
