> The main thing I've noticed is that natural fabrics don't pick up smells nearly as badly as synthetics.

This is especially true of wool.



Wool is a miracle fiber as far as I'm concerned.

Quick plug for two of my favorite businesses:

Fox River Socks [1], which is a sock factory in my home town. Up until a year or two ago it was locally owned. The owner sold it to a larger holding company though. I think they still have a fair amount of local control though.

Faribault Woolen Mill [2], a maker of wool blankets in southern Minnesota, about an hour and a half from where I grew up.

To throw in a third, we made our own bed ~6 years ago out of wool batting from Shepherd's Dream [3], which is an Oregon-based wool seller. We are actually planning to order more this week to make another for our kids.
