Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
If we can stand one more "thread" on fibers/fabrics--not all
manmade/synthetic fabrics are the same, either. Those curtains might
very well have been
rayon, or a rayon/acetate blend. I've seen home decorating ribbed
fabrics made
of these fibers. And rayon, of course, being cellulose, like cotton, won't
make you swelter. If fact, it absorbs moisture even better than
cotton, hence
the fact that it also wrinkles like crazy. Acetate, though, being
chemically
modified cellulose,
Thanks for the "One More Thread." I didn't know that about acetate!
