@jquillin - natural lightweight fabrics like silk tees. Warm you up when it’s cold, can throw the sweater over shoulders if it’s warm later. Silk tees/scarves are key. I posted about this on insta today.

@kristenfanarakis Ooh I missed that post. Will have a look. Do you make silk tees? Where do I get them?

@jquillin I do lol! There is a whole section on my site. It’s honestly what I’ll prob eventually pare the line down to - just variations on silk tees. Everyone loves them they are dressier than cotton. So warm (I mean it’s the ski layers!) they wear forever and when they wear out then you have comfy pjs (tho I found a great dye house to dye them too)

@jquillin - it’s my favorite - all of those - the Marilyn 2 styles more fitted it’s a stretch charmeuse. I’ll be up in a couple weeks - send me a DM maybe we can grab a coffee. I’ll be wearing them I’m sure lol.

@bowreality @kristenfanarakis What are your favorite pieces made from natural fabrics? I always miss a handwoven sweater I had in college that accidentally got put in the dryer.

@jquillin @kristenfanarakis Hm favourite? All my linen stuff in summer. So airy so breezy! I have a couple of merino long sleeves (extra long arms!) that are thin so you can wear them in the office as well. Amazing! A couple of silk / cotton blend long sleeves that I like too. But I think linen trumps everything for me. I am mostly too hot apart from the really cold days (-40ish). Linen bedsheets are insanely great as well btw.

@bowreality @kristenfanarakis This all sounds great! We have linen sheets that are super soft and breathable and very easy to wash.

@jquillin @bowreality — I’ve been obsessed with merino wool since good cashmere is so hard to find these days/is so expensive - have some old ones that are nearly 20 years old and look brand new. For cotton tees I stick with supima for quality (they don’t have the best fit & need to be altered to be stylish) but the LLBEAN supima cottons are great quality for cotton

@jquillin @bowreality merino (if it’s actual merino is soft and smooth). Key is high quality/yarn length. I have found handwashing it softens it too a dry cleaning does not (I have links on my insta on detergents - but there is a German one I found that makes it amazingly soft) I’ll see if I’ve posted (if not I’ll post it today).

@kristenfanarakis @bowreality As a novice, how do you detect the quality factor of wool? Often the softness on the outside belies underlying itchiness. At least for me.

@jquillin @kristenfanarakis Rub it on your neck. That’s a good indicator if it will be itchy I find. It’s a sensitive spot similar to your belly.

@kristenfanarakis @jquillin I can recommend a handwashing one: soakwash.com it’s really good on anything delicate. I’ll have to try and see if I can get the Sonett one here in Canada.
