I found this rather fine beige fabric inside a 1907 wall of my house. It wasn't embedded in plaster, but seemingly hung behind the wall panel. Possibly it's made of cotton. Does anyone know what this was called or what it was for?

I know that cotton is "death cloth" that does not insulate when wet and can be dangerous to wear in cold (or even lukewarm) weather.

I know that wool does insulate when wet, and therefore makes a good base layer in winter.

Are there any other natural fibers that make a good base layer for cold weather activities outdoors, or are wool and synthetics your only options?

So, this "cloth" stuff...
Yet again, tutorials jump from "drape a simple cloth over a sphere" to "Expanding on your Cloth Simulation PhD, this advanced course will... "

I'd like to make some crumpled bed sheets, and drape some clothes over a chair (as shown)

How to do the thing?

Can anyone here maybe help to identify a tartan?

I recently bought some fabric with the following pattern on it. I made a bowtie and pocket square out of it; except for fraying like hell, it's quite nice.

I looked it up in the scottish register of tartans and couldn't find a match, so I'm assuming it's some generic plaid woven by the mill, but I'm curious if it isn't someone's tartan after all. Both for curiosity and because I wouldn't want to step on any toes by wearing someone's clan tartan or something like this.

I reproduced it as well as I could pixel by pixel, here it is.

Any #rug hooking people out there? I want to make my first ever hooked rug -- a small one using #fabric strips. I bought a rug hook (2mmx1.25). Is this the right tool, and what washable backing stuff should I use? Should I get Monk's #cloth, or some sort of #canvas? The intent is for a small bathroom rug that I can sometimes wash (maybe by hand).

Last week I published a quilt material based on the quilts of Kaffe Fassett. I love the history of quilts: born out of necessity, as people needed to stay warm and they had at hand many scrapes of different fabrics. From necessity beauty arises.

Here is a little video I had prepared to demo it. The material part was done in Substance Designer, the clothsim, model, and render in Blender, with AgX as an OCIO profile.
