I find it pills in sweaters. I also try and avoid some weaves of polyester, but that just depends on the texture for me. I find it hot and it doesn't breathe well.</p> <p>Rayon I like but I have found it is touchy about washing sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-the-quality-fabrics#post-745766 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 22:47:52 +0000 D'Ellen 745766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question, RunnerRae. Unfortunately I don't have a good answer, but I'm bumping it for someone who may. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-the-quality-fabrics#post-745676 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 20:51:40 +0000 Raisin 745676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my quest to make my wardrobe smaller and more functional, I want to buy good quality garments that will last. I know silk, cashmere, wool and tweed are all quality fabrics (although there seems to be differences in quality among brands). I'm wondering about things I've been reading on the label like viscose, rayon, polyester, etc. Are there any that are usually pretty poor and should be avoided? Are certain ones that are mixed with say wool or silk better? And which ones are easily cared for? </p>
