Say Goodbye to Bad Quality Clothes (With This Video) 

I am so glad that you have found your real voice. Thanks to your friend who voiced your videos previously!

I actually prefer your voice. Feels much more authentic.

Well done 👍🏻

Team your voice! Good work 😊

I’ve actually been thinking that the speaker did not match 100% with the words in your previous videos. Until now 😄 As a subscriber of your channel I’m super happy with the change, it just feels much more natural ☺️ But regardless of what voice is used, you make really good content, so please keep up the good work 💪❤

@GigiRockEMO: Great info -- thank you!!

Synthetics shed microplastcs into our waterways. Plus they start stinking after 15 minutes of wear.

Interesting topic

This actually explains some things. I bought some wool vests from Cos that didn’t feel like any wool I had ever experienced- very smooth, almost with a slick feel. Wool can take a variety of forms and, of course, isn’t always scratchy or rough but until this purchase have never felt any that was ‘smooth.’ Not sure how it will hold up. It maybe lucky that these were vests and aren’t likely to see a lot of washing.

@@ElderMoreMind, you are right. Pure, unprocessed wool is naturally "grabby". Almost like Velcro. This is caused by the structure of the wool fibres- there are millions of tiny barbs around each strand of fibre. These barbs hold the fibres together when the wool is spun and create loftiness (insulating qualities) in the finished yarn. They are also the reason why wool felts- the barbs lock together with friction, heat and moisture (except for some wool/breeds that naturally resist felting). Now, when wool is processed in a commercial mill, one of the first things that happens is that the wool is stripped off of these tiny barbs (coated with a very fine layer of polymers or chemically liquified/turned into viscose). This is done for several reasons: 1. to help in the spinning process (natural wool can NOT be spun into extra, super fine, perfectly uniform yarn), 2. to prevent shrinkage, 3. to "moth-proof" the yarn. It is then run through a series of chemical washes that give the wool shine and soft handle. Now, there is a huge misconception going around the world that wool is "scratchy". Natural, unprocessed wool is not "scratchy". It is pure, breathable and amazing product. Natural wool is not sleek. It is not soft like silk or Suri Alpaca. It is wool. Sheep's wool. And it has the best properties to keep humans warm in the cold weather and cool in the warm weather (yes, wool is perfect for the summer garments as well). Why then people think that "wool is scratchy"? It is proven in many studies that the more people wear man-made fibres, the more they dislike natural fibres in their purest form. The skin used to chemical cocktail of rayon, viscose, polyester, nylon and heavily-processed cotton overreacts when it comes to the contact with natural wool. At the end of the mill processing, the wool has lost most of the insulating, moisture-wicking, self-cleaning properties. That's why commercial woollen garments have to be washed way more often than unprocessed wool- and they often get stinky (the polymer coating holds onto any body odours). This is also a reason why, if you try and over-dye commercially-processed garments (especially super fine Merino), it usually ends up in a disaster.

What materials do you recommend

@@13ikea, choose pure, unprocessed/minimally-processed wool from your local sheep. If you are in the US that would be Finn, Polypay, Columbia, Hampshire, Southdown/Babydoll etc. Woollen-spun (spun from a carded batt) is preferable. Go for un-dyed yarns or naturally-dyed yarns if possible. If you are choosing acid dyes (commercial dyes), opt for light colours and avoid dark colours: dark blue/black and dark red.

Hi! Do you know of any online sites that sell these high quality unprocessed natural materials you could recommend? VERY INTERESTED in this!!

Thank you so much!

That's exactly what I needed to hear. I feel like we can have a better bond if I use my own voice. Thank you for this kind comment ❤️

Linen scratches me to the point I can't wear it.

I think it's also about the times we're living in. Most fabrics used to be in better shape a decade ago than they are now :(

Thank you so much! I did like maybe 10 takes to do the voiceover. I managed to hide my nervousness in the last one lol

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Of course I included you. Your comments are the best!

@@perspectiveofme Really !?! Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much 🙂

@@perspectiveofme ❤❤❤

Sorry not sorry :)

I agree. Just like cotton. I find a blend of syntthetic fabrics like polyester, rayon and a bit of cotton last longer. They also look and feel great. It's about knowing how to pick clothes for me. Not so much the fabric anymore. Natural isn't always better.

@@ninawestlake14 Better - depends on what criteria. I buy clothes with natural fibers. But my running shoes are plastic.

I totally agree!
