Pictures and Comments from the Field
This page presents a collection of a lot of things. Pictures and Comments from the field (and the cities), of course, but also many other subjects ... information about Import Duties, people we work with, things we do ... any content that seems like it would be of interest.
The pages linked below show material from many sources, but what we like best is sent by our customers. We love all kinds of input! Please send us your photos, videos, stories, comments, suggestions, criticism, ideas, wish-list ... anything! -- Thanks

Facebook ... Instagram ... and we are just beginning to host Video on this website.
We have a YouTube Channel with a bunch of videos but the great majority of videos about WeatherWool have been done by others, and are posted on their own channels. You can find a few of those videos by clicking here. At this point, videos where people are wearing and even reviewing WeatherWool are coming out too quickly for me to keep up with. People don't tell me when they are putting out a video, let alone ask me to review for accuracy.
We post on Instagram and Facebook often (usually same post on each). We plan to do a lot more video as time allows... along with many other things.

The following pages are listed mostly by location, but sometimes by subject. I am very far behind here. I started this page long ago and circumstances have really changed.
