there's nothing better than making my own sweaters using crochet, you're always 100% sure about what you're making and what material is it

If you put a silk scarf over your head and face when pulling a sweater over you head, it will slip on easily and you won’t get makeup or hair products on it.

After I learned about microplastics, I stopped buying cloths w synthetic materials. It ended up helping w my contact dermatitis/stress hives a lot. If you have itchy dry skin despite moisturizing properly, it could be the fabrics you are wearing.

Psa: contrary to popular belief, viscose IS a natural material! It's cellulose pulled into super long fibers, which gives it the same characteristics as silk. It won't keep you super warm, but it will be very soft and absorbent

I only exclusively shop secondhand as well. Despite living in the Deep South and in an extremely hot and humid climate. these tips for the upcoming winter in January and February will help out tremendously.

A tip in case your sweater is pilling; you can easily shave the pills off with an electric pill remover. This will make your sweater look brand new! And Ialways find the shaving process extremely satisfying 😁

Recommendations for soft wool? All wools that I’ve found seem to be extremely itchy/scratchy and give me rashes

I don’t mind pilling bc I use that shaver and I actually like using it

I think sheer can look good in a sweater! But it has to be done right. And its not that great for COLD weather. . . . As a knitter though I'm kinda biased lol, I LOVE the diaphanous raglan by Jessie Maed Designs 🥰

Become a knitter! You’ll spend twice as much but have way more fun in the process.

Is polyamide something to avoid? I see this in some percentage in almost all cashmere and wool sweaters.
