We Found 100% Wool Socks!
Most wool socks have a decent amount of polyester or other plastics in them, but these do not.

Here's the scoop.
Y'all holler if you know how hard it is to find a swim suite that aren't made of freakin plastic! Especially for women and kids!
In particular we really wanted good swimwear for our kids, to protect their fertility and we found lots of great sites that sold all organic cotton except in the swimsuits. The ridiculous part was that they charged a premium for swimsuites made of (get this) recycled water bottles! That may as well be nylon or polyester, but they sell it like its a step up. That was when we felt like there was no chance.
After a few months we came across a blog post in Australia by Merino Country talking about wool swim suites and we were stoked to see that they sold them too!
Wool Swimsuits are Phenomenal
These are hand-down the best swim suites ever made! You would think wool would be hot, but no Yahweh knew what he was doing when he made them sheep cause these are perfect for being hot. Water slips right off wool, so they dry very fast too. Faster than all that "quick dry" garbage they sell.They have a frequency of 5000 compared of organic cotton which is only 100, so you can be healing your body as you swim.

Modest Is Hottest...I Mean Coolest
As a dad I love that my girl loves her swimsuit and that its effectively a tank top and shorts. Momma got the same one in her size too so they match and that makes it all the more fun for them both. Just so cute.
Perfect For the Gym
Wool is just as good at the gym as it is in the pool. Again the sweat rolls off and you're not absorbing those toxic chemicals from plastic when you get hot and sweaty. Remember this:
Wool keeps you cool. It can keep you warm too, but in this case you'll be so glad you chose wool.
