Of corse.
Oof corse
You can tell polyester is the artificial one
Too damn straight
Daymn straight!
Rayon is striated vertically but consistent along its length like other artificial fibers
Alpaca superiority on display. Thick but also fineeeee.
So warm and also cool. Fucking love it, favorite souvenir I have from Peru.
Cotton would be a fucking epic pasta shape.
Kinda looks like casarecce already
there are like 50 commonly available pasta shapes. closest one I could find quickly is fileja
While a neat picture, as I understand it the itchiness of wool mostly has to do with how long the fibers are. With short fibers there are lots of fiber ends poking out of the fabric everywhere. Alpaca or merino wool has much longer fibers, avoiding this issue.
Pretty sure you're right. The scale on wool actually gives it some of its desirable properties I believe, like being able to cling to itself for easy splicing and felting.
Pictured below: the wool they used in the green wool army blankets [enlarged 250x]
So scratchy. When I lived in the barracks I used shirt-stays to keep that blanket nice and tight for any inspection. I kept a cotton comforter in my wall-closet and would toss it over the made rack and just sleep on that with a second blanket over me. In the morning both would go back into the locked closet and I'd still have a perfectly made rack after some slight straightening.
That looks more tan than green
Oh, sorry. Disclaimer: Color may not be to scale.
Looks itchy
Of course silk is hot af
Never thought I wanted to bang a piece of fiber until this pic.
Merino where?
Clothes are all of a sudden disgusting to me. Artificials are now much more desirable.
Except they shed micro plastics everywhere including the water supply.
Don't worry, skin up close is much worse
You don't have to remind me how disgusting we are.
