Only use natural fibers! Love the feel, look, and wearability. Favorite ....silks, linens, & cottons. Lots of requests for anything without wool.

I too am wanting the natural fibers icl. wool....I find the wool crepes make a garment that goes through most seasons....linens, silk, rayon, wool-ray, bamboo...some of the new polys' are a better quality but I find I still prefer the naturals....I would esp. like if you got in more linen

I really look for the blends of natural fibers with a stable fiber for strength and durability such as nylon with a super wash merino for socks and baby wear. Machine washability is a big plus for many people. While I am fine with most of the man made yarns available in cone, many of which have come a long way since childhood, I would like to see broader availability in the natural fiber selection on cone. I am impressed with the survey results-fairly even across the natural and natural blend spectrum!

Since I machine knit and weave on a large jack loom, natural yarns and blends are the way to go. I just love the feel of something that is so organic.

I would love natural and manmade blends that do not pill. I like to use bulky and mid-gauge machines, so I would like sport and aran weights, DK weights, etc.
