Do you know why silks look and feel so different? It’s often down to the silk worms that make them. But not all silks are made from worms, and I think you’ll be surprised to learn the other types! http://bit.ly/1Ju6wbv

Sometimes different names for fabric have even OUR heads in a spin! http://bit.ly/1EaaWjb So Jaime and I thought it would be nice to write a quick post identifying the most commonly mixed up fabrics, and do a bit of demystifying. Would love to know if there are any more we’ve missed off!


We’ve also enrolled the help of amazing sewers over at One Little Minute Blog and Sew4Home for a few extra tips on stretchy-doo-da fabrics!

Next in our ‘Wool Series’ today I’m talking Angora: http://bit.ly/EcoAngora. What is it? Why do we like it? Why is it controversial? Would love your thoughts on it too. Please note - there are some distressing images within this post.

Starting out in business is hard work, and when I come across knitwear designers starting their own lines, I’m particularly wowed. Knitting, particularly hand-knitting, comes with longer lead times, higher startup costs and quality control issues. So I thought I’d bring in an expert to give us some advice on how to overcome these issues… cue knitwear entrepreneur Brownyn Lowenthal! Bronwyn is founder and design director of gorgeous knitwear brand Lowie. In this interview she reveals how she sold her designs from a market stall and grew into a thriving business with a retail outlet and stockists.

Dyeing with natural plants is an art form - but sometimes the environmental pros and cons can be tricky to weigh up. So in this post, I pick Susie’s brilliant brain about mordants, specifically metal and non-metal, to see which is more environmentally friendly! Read the full post here: http://bit.ly/MetalMordant
