Hello,
I'm working on a Central Asian kit (generic Andronovo-Skythian-Parthian) and, what with it being the dead of winter in the States, been thinking about adding extra layers like an undertunic and scarf. Unfortunately I get a painful rash if I wear ordinary wool next to the skin.
So, I'm trying to find sources for by-the-yard woven wool of a less itchy variety. I understand merino has a good reputation, but so far it appears to be available only as fine knits (like for T-shirts), felt and yarn. Anyone know of anything that could be useable?

Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
