Also on said 30 day (very sweaty) expedition when I wore the same wool outfit the entire time… I also didn’t shower once 😂 So maybe my standards are kind of low haha.
You may wish to wash your baselayers every 3-5 uses, but you definitely don’t need to wash them after every wear!
Wool is definitely the best choice for baselayers, for all seasons. It regulates your body temperature to keep you warm (or cool), is self-cleaning, and if your wool set is from @karitraa it will also look incredibly cute and flattering! And if you don’t have any baselayers yet or have an obsession with them like I do, use code:

🩷 Here are some tips for keeping your wool garments happy for a very long time!!
1) To go longer between washes, air them out by hanging outside. This helps the environment (uses no energy) and will help you preserve the quality of the wool for much longer.
Wool is naturally antimicrobial and antibacterial, so you can wear wool clothing for many days (even sweaty ones) without it smelling bad, which is not the case for synthetic garments.
2) To clean your wool:
- Zip any zippers
- Wash with similar colors
- Avoid washing with other fabrics besides wool as it can leave a residue on your other clothes
- Use the wool or delicate setting
- Use a gentle wool detergent (not a normal detergent)
- Wash with COLD water to prevent shrinking your clothes!
- Remove promptly
- Lay flat to dry
- Do not tumble dry!
3) To store your baselayers, fold them gently and loosely. If you put yours away after winter, use a container that will keep them safe from moisture and insects (I wear mine year round living in Lofoten so I never put my baselayers or sweaters away hehe).
Have you been washing your wool like this?! Or will you possibly wash your wool differently/less now?!

Backpacking clothes I would buy again (part 2)! 👖🧢🏕️
🏕️Smart wool base layers - I have both the long sleeves and leggings & they’re 100% merino wool! I love wearing these as my sleeping outfit out backpacking, they keep me warm and dry and don’t get stinky easily!
🏕️ Columbia rain jacket - this was only $40 on sale and I take it with me on every trip! It’s pretty lightweight and does a good job of keeping me dry during rain.
🏕️ Squak mountain co Polartec Alpha fleece - this mid layer is SO lightweight it’s crazy. It’s really breathable but it somehow also keeps you warm when you need it!
🏕️ 5 panel hats from Etsy artist (goodnightpine) - I LOVE these hats! They’re so cute, lightweight, and quick drying. Perfect for adventuring!

I was super happy to get the base layers on from @sweatybetty and I actually haven’t taken them off yet, and I might not as they are super soft and cosy... perfect for the colder evenings ahead.
