Ramblers Way

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Ramblers Way. All opinions are 100% mine.

This isn't my usual post here, but I'm interested in sustainable, environmentally-friendly products, even when you can't eat them. Yes, I know, you're shocked that I'm interested in things other than food!

Ramblers Way Farm is a family business -- from the founders of Tom's of Maine -- making thin, soft wool clothing. They promise that their soft woolen clothes can be worn next to the skin, unlike a lot of my favorite wool sweaters.

I'm most interested in either the thin wool cami in this picture, or a long-sleeved thin wool shirt. I did a lot of backpacking in China and in the UK, and I always wanted something that was warm but didn't take up a lot of space in my bags. You know, I'd try to pack lightly so I wouldn't be hauling a huge bag through train stations and around town, but then it would be cold and I'd have that interesting fashion ensemble known as wearing every single t-shirt and henley in in my backpack at once. (For the full effect, I would try to snatch a couple hours sleep on the bus or train, and wake up with bedhead as well. I'm overwhelmingly sexy.)

Anyway, these superthin wool shirts should also dry quickly, which will be useful for all those times I end up doing laundry in the hotel sink and then hanging my clothes up to dry around the bathroom (Oh! Speaking of that, remind me to tell you a story). The shirts are also nice blonde color, and we all know that when you're packing light, you need go-with-anything neutrals for wardrobe versatility.

The reason I decided to take this sponsored post, and not one of the gazillion pharmacy or refinancing posts, is because all the products from Ramblers Way Farm are produced with an eye towards the environmental impact and humane treatment of all livestock. This is an environmentally sustainable company, and they participate in all parts of the production, from raising the sheep to finishing the clothes.
