       I don't always wear the colours of my people (plaid flannel, lesbians) but when I do, I make warm Victorian underwear out of it. Leisurely putting together a couple of pairs of drawers to recuperate from yesterday.

       @sinituulia As a plaid person, can you tell me how you feel about 100 wool vs. the softer and more flexible synthetic mixes?Do printed on patterns offend you? Are you a woven pattern purist?I was inclined to like the authenticity of wool,but it can be rather stiff.

       @Anke @sinituulia I think you are correct and I'm very much out of my depth here.

       @futurebird Absolute hard no on synthetic fibres whenever possible, but I quite like 100% cotton flannel! Plaid is just the pattern while flannel is the weave (that gets brushed to make it fluffy) and did use to refer to wool only, but these days can be any fibre as long as it's treated the same...Printed on patterns offend me, deeply. The print is never quite on grain, so if you cut the fabric on grain, the patterns will not match. You'll end up with either a wonky garment or wonky patterns. Unacceptable! 😆Wool, in some cases, can be very very nice... But also I have three cats, I can't be bothered to own a casual use garment that I can't launder the everliving fuck out of if a cat horks, pees or rubs something worse on it! Jackets and coats I'll take in wool, though.

       @sinituulia #PicaTheCat refuses to lay on a blanket unless it's 100 wool. And she will make you feel like a monster for not setting up her "spot" correctly. Fortunately a lint roller works for "her" blankets.
