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?

None at Lands' End? Wow. I bet they'd answer the question, though, if you sent them an email.

Some JoAnn's will carry wool, but it's dependent on what has sold at that store in the past. They tune them, often to excess.
