OK, suppose I wanted to do something that probably isn't a good idea, like sew my own running skirt. Does anyone know where I could get quality tech fabric by the yard?
Peace,

sloutre, it is possible to make all sorts of things from recycled and refashioned wool, but in case you're thinking of trying it, just remember all wool is not the same.
Merino wool is special and is pretty much the only kind used in athletic gear. Besides the type of wool, there are mechanical treatments they sometimes do to improve washability. You definitely wouldn't want to make running shorts out of non-merino, non-superwash wool, the kind you'd often find in nice sweaters and hats. It could be super scratchy and unbearably hot. Crafty athlete beware!
I know this stuff because I live with a professional yarn fanatic. :hat:

Nice to see you here. I follow your blog and knew you were running but I had no idea you were interested in barefoot/minimalist running.
Welcome.
