Wool Gathering

This post first appeared on Regretsy on September 7, 2010

Ever since Mr. Riesenrollkragen was featured here two weeks ago (and immediately pulled down his entire web site in protest), I have been fascinated with giant sweaters and weird balaclavas.

Now, I’ve been around the block a few times, and I’ve seen my fair share of freaky shit. But for some reason it hadn’t occurred to me that there is an element of fetishism at work here. I guess I understand the idea of stockings or lingerie, or other materials that seem like they’d be pleasurable to wear. But wool just doesn’t seem remotely sexy to me. The idea of sitting around sweating in a giant poncho just sounds itchy, and not exactly boner material.

But there is in fact, a kink for everyone, and I seem to have tapped into a rich vein of wool porn over the weekend. So in the interest of giving you knitters some new product ideas, I’d like to pass on some swell fall ideas for your Etsy stores.

      I dunno, the right half of the fifth one and the sixth one not bad looking. If I lived in a place that actually got cold I would definitely get those to wear outside. Preferably with a nice satin lining or something. Because while being comfortably warm and itchy is preferable to being freezing and itchy, being comfortably warm and not itchy is really the best option. Can’t say as I would be using it for sexual purposes though. I’m a bit of a traditionalist in bed, whips and chains and whatnot….

        Well, that’s not something you see every day.

        Undeniably sexy, and it has a certain charm (and je ne sais quoi) but overridden by my memories of how woolens feel and sound.

        Literally the first time I’ve seen something on Regretsy that has me firmly in the WTF camp. Hate me if you will, but I cannot connect wool crafts with sexuality. It’s the same feeling I have for spanking. No sense of eros at all. Not my kink.

        By the way, does anyone else remember the photo some wonderful sick fucker posted a couple months ago of a family covered neck to ankle in knitted mohair, including realistic knitted genitals? The daughter was cradling Dad’s knitted junk in her hand. I saved it to my laptop filed under “what the fucking fuck?” but that computer is currently sidelined by malware.

    I work in a knit shop and we’ve gotten several calls over the years to knit mohair body suits for men… The cost is astronomical — like $200 or $300 for materials and then my time — probably 200 hours at $5 an hour. And the squidge factor is worse — measurements of a stranger’s whole body and knitting to fit it. Yuck.
