I have been working on making lots of new fabrics. They are blends of rayon and silk and wool with blended dyes. I am trying to make several yards of these so that there is enough to make clothing of either dresses or skirts. One of the biggest problems is make widths of useful form. Even if I set up the original width size of 48", after washing and drying the cloth always shrinks. I usually end up with only 38" to 40" in width. The shrink is not a surprise, but I often wish that I could better control it. In any case, the fibers should produce interesting clothing.
