Why Don’t Seniors Wear Wool the Norwegian Way, Next to the Skin

SUBSCRIBE for more:    / @perolsen1974   SUMMARY: Most of us remember the thick, scratchy wool of childhood—but fine merino is different. I explain why Norwegians wear wool next to the skin, how it regulates temperature and moisture, and why this traditional approach can be especially useful as we age. In this video, I cover: • What actually causes wool to itch • Why cotton can work against effective cold-weather layering • How fine wool helps the body stay warm without overheating • When wool should—and shouldn’t—be worn next to the skin • How to choose, wear, wash, and care for merino • Why wool may be particularly helpful at night I also suggest a simple test: try one night in a fine merino base layer and judge the difference for yourself.
