12/18/10 a scratchy sweater
Much like the scratchy towel mentioned at the beginning of this series, the scratchy sweater is heavenly if done in the right way. If you're going for the scratchiness, it just has to be plain wool, not virgin or merino, and if you want to enjoy itchy arms later, best to wear only a tank top underneath. Then it's glorious scratchy arms and scratchy belly and scratchy shoulders and neck. It's a sweater of a bunch of prickly-legged bugs crawling on you, and you want to run your own smooth fingers over yourself, and just cool yourself off with scritching.
