wool @ jcrew!

YellowLily2013

I am interested in getting wool sometime, but never imagined I'd find wool pants at J.Crew!

I don't know how they would work as a cover, since they probably don't have extra wool in the wet zone. But I'm sure they can be lanolized.  

Just thought I'd share.

I saw these the other day, so I thought the price was comparable. SBish wool is expensive too!

I thought custom wool longies were in the 50 to 60 dollar range? No? I haven't heard of them in the 30s. But then again I don't look at the ones made from sweaters, typically NMS.

You will find that CDing and frugality tend to go hand in hand, LOL!  Those jcrew pants were cute, but I did a super quick search on etsy and found something almost exactly the same for $16.  Here it is...

I have found that etsy has some very high quality stuff for a fraction of retail price.

Sloomb is COMPLETELY different. I've made some out of cashmere sweaters that look pretty much identical to this. No need to be a woolie snob.

Yeah, a lot of it depends on how you make it and the type of sweater/material you make it out of. An upcycled cashmere sweater is going to look nicer (imho) than an upcycled wool fisherman style sweater.

Yep I agree with everyone. I was just surprised a place like jcrew had woolies. And was kind of curious if there were other retailers that did too, that might not be marketed to cding mommas.

I'm definitely not a wooly snob, I haven't bought any wool! I'm scared to take that plunge. Mainly for my pocketbook! Hehe

And I'm about saving , I might have too many diapers but they were mostly all bought as seconds!
