    I have this magic blanket my friend made me before she died, idk how she did it but that blanket always is juuuuuust the right level of warmth. It’s kept me warm through freezing cold winters in Michigan and cool but covered in its breathable fabric in the heat of many an Arizona summer. I’ll never know how that works, but I do know I’ll never go anywhere overnight without it.

    and yes, it’s super soft

          Wasn’t meant to be a dig, most people think wool just keeps you warm, but it’s absolutely magic. Keeps you warm in the winter, cool in the summer. It’ll even keep you dry. When it gets wet, it creates an exothermic reaction to warm you up which creates a sort of runaway effect to keep drying itself. It does run out of effectiveness, but plunging into a frozen lake for instance, it gives you like a half hour headstart on warmth/survival. After that, it requires removing it and drying/external heat but still. It’s a godamn fabric. It’s insane.

          That said, I’ve got two questions, ones for you: It’s got a tag right? Unless someone you know actually made it.

          Second question, are vegans allowed to use wool?
