We interact with fabrics 24 hours a day, from our clothing to our bedding to the upholstery on our furniture. Yet we have very little idea what goes into these materials, where they come from, who makes them, or what effect they have on our health and on the planet.
This zine uses comics and infographics to invite you to learn the fundamentals of the fibers that are used to create the textiles that permeate our daily lives. You'll learn to tell natural fibers from synthetics and semi-synthetics, see how fabric gets made, and understand a little more about the fabric of your daily life.
Whether you're a fashion student, a fiber artist, or just a person looking to understand how to buy, clean, and care for clothing so it lasts, you'll start to see the world in a whole new way.
Due to its age and history, vintage clothing may show signs of wear. We think that's part of the charm, but we'll always mention any noticeable flaws in the description.
Excellent: Pristine and appears to have very little wear
Great: Minor signs or wear but no major flaws
Good: Minor stains or flaws, fabric & seams may be weak over time & use but still very wearable
Fair: Wearable but has obvious flaws
