It's so hard to find wool in Guatemala city. I have gone to shop after shop and get the same blank stare back when I try to explain that 'acrylic' is not 'wool'. Natural fibers? Nope, not even registering.
So I finally found a shop in a posh part of town... and I went there with my mom to find two women who could hardly knit trying to make me buy this awful, static-charged acrylic swearing it was Merino wool. Alas, I came fully loaded so I think I have enough to make my mom a scarf. I did manage to get a circular needle (which was almost brain-surgery level for these poor women).
I can't wait to go back home and be able to go into a store and find what I need. I will miss going around in shorts in January, though.
