Cold weather is Vermont's specialty.
From handspun wool to wood stoves the emphasis is on keeping people warm. The six small salesrooms jammed with woolen products reveal that staying warm is the real concern. The wool pants, shirts, hunting jackets and blankets, made in adjoining rooms, practically announce coziness. A Johnson Woolen Mills label is recognized in the north country as a sign of sturdy clothing good for many winters. The clothes come from the sheep with a minimum of intervention.
