Everything to know about Fabric and Textiles

When I was in graduate school, I acquired a pair of small white floor rugs/mats that my mom was letting go of. I was studying textiles and grabbed them as cool rag rugs, but today I learned they are specifically sakiori, the Japanese form of rag weaving.

In my current lifestyle these are my preferred bedside rugs. I love the fine texture on my bare feet, and I'm extra picky about that.

Mixed fibres in clothing and carpets make recovering valuable materials like nylon-6 incredibly difficult.

A new partnership between NylaNova and producer Nylene aims to change that. Using catalyst tech from Northwestern University, they break mixed nylon waste down into caprolactam, the raw building block for new nylon.

Nylene will use it in manufacturing, targeting waste it couldn't otherwise process.

Wool ignites at 570 to 600C. Cotton ignites at 255C. Both figures come from Woolmark's fire-resistance fact sheet, which is an industry source, so weigh them accordingly. We cited them while comparing wool and cotton duvets, where neither fibre won every measure we scored.

I picked rag as my first project on my larger rigid heddle loom. Using old fabric scraps to weave has been a perfect, easy, low-stakes way to get started. The gray fabric is from curtains I made for my apartment fifteen years ago. Im making a 7 long table runner. I love how its turning outrag weaving can be all messy and freeform and still look great!and its good practice getting acquainted with how the loom works.

Good weaving progress this weekend

I'm not particularly keen on the Masked Singer as popular entertainment (the almost fascistic chant of 'Take it Off' is particularly alarming), but I have to admit finding out that the mask/costumes themselves have kept a 280 people strong textile fabrication team in work for seven years leaves me a little more well disposed towards the show....

Sometimes the resilience of craft production stems from unpredicted culture practice(s).

Love getting behind the loom again after a short break

Able to weave again now that work has eased slightly

In a textile/fiber arts studio... I think I'd probably just stare at that wall of colors and never get any weaving done.

Thrushes kept stealing the strawberries in William Morris's kitchen garden at Kelmscott Manor, so he put them on a fabric. Strawberry Thief, 1883, was printed by indigo discharge at his Merton Abbey works. Slow and expensive. People bought it anyway.

The William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow reopened in October, with new space for what he took from Islamic art:

Clothes moth larvae eat keratin, so clean wool is still food to them. Dirt decides whether they settle in: a 2021 study in Genes notes the larvae usually feed on material soiled with dirt and sweat. So a wool blanket goes into storage clean and dry all the way through, in a cotton bag rather than a sealed plastic bin.

Startup Everbloom has developed renoa, a new alternative clothing fiber crafted from protein waste sources including cashmere scraps, wool remnants, and feather down.

The US Federal Trade Commission recently approved it as the first new fiber classification in 25 years.

A comforter is filled, a quilt is filled thinly, and a duvet cover has no fill at all. It is one layer of cloth with an opening, and the filled part slides inside it. The working rule: if it has fill and you cannot wash it, it wants a cover. If it has no fill, it probably is one.
