nylon vs polyamide vs polyester (I'm shopping for winter coats that are weatherproof) also, why is acrylic behaving so terribly, as it's very popular for sweaters and scarves?

Blends! Wool with silk or linen with hemp or so (unless you have closed the chapter of natural fibers). Advantages of natural w/sintetic blends and disadvantages :)

Wonderful video. I would love to know what your favorite fabric stores in Berlin are. I have been here two years and I am still searching for a "favorite".

Oh my goodness, I just learned SO much! Henceforth dispelling of my belief that viscose and modal are synthetic fibers...thanks, Justine, for the education! :)

Yes, I have a lovely viscose scarf and was surprised to find it is very comfortable and not at all sweaty. It is every bit as nice to wear and beautiful as most wool/silk pashminas, just not as warm.

Thanks, Robin! The is really eye-opening! I'm looking at all of my scarves differently now. :)

I thought the same. When I see viscose on the label I always think of how sweaty and smelly will I get in that garment (I sweat a lot).

Even rayon is natural. Well. -ish. Rayon is from wood pulp, but it's been so incredibly processed that it ends up being a synthetic form of itself by the time all is said and done.

Fabric and fire safety: Here in the U.S. infant and children's night clothes are made of synthetic fabric with a fire retardant added. After a few washes the fire retardant washes off, making the clothing a melting hazard in case of fire or extremely high temperatures. I worked on a forest fire crew for the Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources in 1988 and I learned that cotton is the best for protecting your skin in a fire situation. It will not melt and stick to your skin and does not burn as fast as synthetic ( which will melt and burn immediately upon contact with fire and extremely high temperatures ). The same goes for almost all wedding/bridal dresses and Halloween costumes, which are usually made with synthetic fabric treated with a fire retardant. Check the labels and ask if the garment is treated with a fire/flame retardant and will that chemical wash off after a couple of washings or cleanings.

I heard of a tragic story about polyester melting onto someone, and I now avoid those plastic based fibers if I can help it

LOL! You should see my sitting room and dining room right now. :) I have two sewing rooms with floor to ceiling everything, and that's spilled into the garage, and into the dining room and my sitting room. I have four dress forms with gowns in various stages in this sitting room with me, and a fifth padded and ready to be used in the morning. :)

I’m living a plastic-free lifestyle so I’m phasing out all my synthetic clothing like polyester and acrylic. My favourite natural fibres are tencel, merino wool and linen. I just embrace linen’s wrinkles and I only wash my wool in cold water and everything is a-ok!

Another very informative video. As a senior who took sewing lessons more than 40 years ago, I find your information on the newer fabrics very interesting. Thank you.

Like someone else said I am looking more at what clothes are made from. I’m also looking into buying better quality as opposed to cheaper clothes which wear out quicker. I’m not a great shopper anyway so it makes sense to buy better quality. I am a sewer and already know more about fabrics by watching these videos. Thank you Justine, another great series😀❤️

Loved hearing about different fabrics and understanding their different characteristics, really informative and to the point, this is what I want, a designer who really knows her fabrics inside and out so ultimately the end result of a produced garment would be flawless, thanks justine, I will most definitely be watching this video again and again. P.s. Congrats on your 2 years on KZread.

Excellently presented and extremely informative...as always. Thank you, Justine.

Oh man, this is brilliant. I've had to piece these things together over years! So nice to have it all in a handy video. Thank you.

Brilliant! So well explained, I love sewing, weaving and knitting also fashion old and new, you do great vids and are great in helping me build up a bit more knowledge in my hobbies. Thank you Justine ⭐️

I will never be able to look at clothes the same way again ♡ thank you!!! Modal and silk georgette are my favourite so far.

Justine, You are a genius! The quality of information that you share is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to put together these great videos!

This is so informative! Thank you! This series is exceptionally useful to me as a beginner seamstress, particularly the information about viscose, model, and lyocell.

Always simple, effective and informative videos which are the quintessential of a professional footage. Thank you Justine.

Love this series!! My favorite tee shirts that I own are made from viscose. They are incredibly soft and have a beautiful drape. It is exciting to hear about all of these fibers. The silk chiffon is very dreamy!

So informative! I learned a lot of new things and I will definitely be on the lookout for the cellulose-based fabrics now. Thank you!

I've just started to sew some of my own clothes and you just answered so many questions I had about materials! Great video, thank you Justine! You're so pedagogical.

Loving this new video series!! Learning a lot about something that I’ve never paid much attention to before. Thanks!

wow I learned so much from this!! I've actually been watching some historical fashion youtubers lately as well and when you described the specific properties of each fabric it really made me realize how well thought out the clothing of my ancestors was, prior to mass-production

cannot wait for the next video! very nice one Justin.

So interesting!! Thanks for explaining fibers and fabric. It's much more complex than I ever thought.

Great video, as always :) Good thing you included Lyocell, Viscose and Modal- there are so many misconceptions on them, I was glad I could actyually get to know these fabrics better :)

This is bloody fantastic! Explains so much I had no idea about before!🙊

Thank you. I really loved this. I've been sewing for a zillion years, so I know about fabric and I still enjoyed your video.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! This was incredibly informative and very interesting. You were able to explain everything in a way that even a layman (like myself) can understand. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series! Keep up the good work.

Justine, thank you for for sharing an interesting topic with such useful information-love it!.

So informative. Thank you! I'm glad you mentioned recycling. With fabrics from clothing to carpet, design for recycling is so important and almost always a step that's skipped. Blended materials are commonly more difficult to recycle than items made from a single fiber. True recycling of clothing into new clothing is almost nonexistent, though there are some companies working on it.

Love this wonderful explanation of natural fabrics!!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I think you’re awesome and I really appreciate all of the time and effort you put into these videos.

I loved this video! As a very limited seamstress I love learning about fabric and you explained the differences so well. Can’t wait for the next one

unbelievable how much I've learnt in 10 minutes! technology behind what we wear it's super interesting for me :) thanks so much Justine, I love your channel ❤️

OMG, I love fabrics! Thank you for this series!

Looooove the video, Justine!! Really useful and knowledgeable, well summarised and simplified. I noticed a lot more modal and lyell mixed and fabrics on the market recently. Thank you for demistyfying this😊

Fab channel! Each video loaded with such good sensible content. Brilliant!

So educational and never boring or overloaded with unnecessary info. Love it! Thank you so much, Justine! I thought modal and lyocell weren't natural fibers. Now I have more options for shopping. (I try to stay away from polyester and such.)

Justine Leconte - i learn SO much from your videos! I feel like a fabric adult now finally!

Woooow! Every time I watch such video I think, she is amazing. So much information in a way that's easy to understand. Your Chanel is so unique and so helpful. Thank you thank Justine!!!!!

Loving your series. 💙

I have been waiting my whole life (ok after childhood) for this video!! I can't tell you how many times I've wished for this information while out shopping!! Also I always have to explain to sales people why I am hesitant to buy things and why I refuse to buy anything acrylic - just too much risk of pilling! You are so incredibly knowledgeable and make becoming interested in fashion and style interesting again. Thank you SO much for sharing with us. And Yes!! I have fabric requests, as I am fascinated by Brocade, Organza, Taffeta, Tweed, Lame...!!

I have gone through this fabric education for plenty of time now because I am working with a retail brand but you explained it in very easy way.. ❤️ you

I'm so excited for this series!! I have really no knowledge of different fabrics and I appreciate your knowledge :)

Super informative and well made!! I love your videos :D

So interesting! I'm looking forward to seeing the video on synthetic fabrics. After seeing your videos I started rethink all my certainties about clothes and materials and I started to buy more responsibly :) Thanks!

Merci, Justine! Really good overview of natural fibers, & thanks for explaining the origins of & differences between lyocell, modal, & viscose. It would be interesting to learn about manufacturers & mills that responsibly deal with the byproducts & runoff from processing the raw materials & making the fabrics. Looking forward to next week's synthetics!

Hi Justine, I always learn SO MUCH from your videos! Thanks for another wonderful video.

Such an interesting video...thank you Justine ☺️

great video. yes, i knew about linen years ago, but still buy it. I love fabrics. they are so beautiful in various ways : clothing, curtains, upolstery, pillows, cozy blankets, etc. fabrics can be so rich in color and design. see you in your next post :).

This was so interesting! I never realized how much I didn’t know about fabric. Thank you Justine!

This was so informative! Thank you! I look forward to watching your video on synthetic fabrics.

Many of my favourite tops are made from modal (they are so soft, comfortable, and drapey!), and I had no idea what modal was before your video. Thanks for the insight :)

Hello Justine, I just wanted to thank you for this beautiful, inspiring and helpful channel. I found you a couple of months ago. I think back then you had about 60.000 subscribers. And now I can't wait for Wednesdays and Sundays. Thank you very much for all the information, for your smile and your amazing personality.

Very useful information ,thank you Justin👏🏻.

I loved this video! I’m getting into seeing my own clothes and I so appreciate learning about the fibers

Love your videos! Really helped me find better quality clothes and find my own style 😊

I always had questions about the fabrics. Thank you so much, pretty woman 😍❤️❤️❤️ I learn so much with you ❤️❤️❤️

Very interesting, thank you. I love the softness of modal.

So informative, I like this series about the fabrics! Lovely video as always😘 Greetings from the Netherlands 🤗

Very interesting series! Thank you.

Thank you Justine, I've learned so much from this video 👏

I really enjoyed this. Learning a lot from you.

I learnt so much from this. Thank you. I always love your videos x

You are awesome Justine! I just discovered you lately. Although I don't understand everything about what you have taught but I still watch thru and enjoy every bit because you make every lesson so interesting. Love your laughter! I'm from Singapore! :)

thx for making this sound so simple. this was the best video. thx

Thank you!! This is so fun and educational

One of the first things I was sewing was chiffon. My mother and grandmother did heirloom sewing including shadow embroidery, smocking, tatting, and lace inlay in organdy. I don't do it nearly as well as them but that is what they were teaching me. My nana also made flags for the DCI group my uncle ran. I helped with those when I was very young and they were in nylon fabrics. I grew up along the north coast Gulf of Mexico in the US. Cotton is grown a lot there. We used to call it Florida snow since it doesn't snow in Florida and that is the only way you see fields of white. I have picked it as a child for money even.

Thank you for your work, this is a very educated video on characteristics of fabric. Looking Forward for your next video on this subject.

your videos are so helpful 😍 thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

Great video. I was just shopping with my sister last weekend and we were looking at and discussing the pros and cons of modal and lyocell. I knew they were made from a natural fibre but I didn't know any details. Now I can tell her all about it as well so we'll be more informed next time we're shopping.

Thanks so much for such interesting content, Justine! And so well explained! (Oh and I LOVE viscose!) Merci beaucoup :)

Really enjoyed this video and learned a lot!

I like this video more than I thought I would 😅 I thought I knew all that, but with you my knowledge got organised, plus I learned more about cellulose fibers. I feel more confident at understanding fabrics. Can't wait for the video (videos?) on synthetic fabrics!

This video was so enjoyable and informative, thanks for sharing!

Thank you. The explanation was excellent.

what a great and informative video!

I really love your videos.... keep them coming:)

Thanks a lot dear Justine. It was very helpful :)

Very useful video! Thank you very much, Justine! I'm very interested in the impact that different fabrics have on our environment. If you did a video about it, I'm sure it would be enormously informative for all of us who are not in the fashion industry and want to make more ecological choices. Lots of love! 😚😚

I sew all my own clothes and I love natural fabrics, I have found that cotton, linen, and silk (and blends though I prefer less than 50%polyester if it isn't a blend of two natural fibres) are more comfortable in a very hot and humid climate like mine (northern Australia ). Given the heat I will endure any wrinkles for comfort! Rayon is the main cellulose based fabric I see available for home-sewing, though viscose is also available but often in knitted fabrics. While I love the drape of those fabrics they do feel less breathable to me (maybe because of the humidity?). I really enjoy your videos, always really interesting.

Very interesting Justine! Usefull as well 🖒🖒🖒

This was very educational, thanks a lot Justine! I would like to see more like this.

Thanks for this video, very interesting. Never knew anything about these newer types of fabrics..

Great video! Super helpful! Moving on to the second part:D

Thank you for this video! Very informative and simple.

Love being educated by you Justine, thanks for the information about fabrics. PS love your silver ring❤️

Very good educational video. This will help me when I go shopping next time

New subscriber! Please, never stop doing videos! I've litterally binged all of them in one single night! And I don't even care about fashion!

So informative as always Justine! I would love to know your thoughts about hemp and bamboo fibres - breathability, how they are processed and the environmental impact of obtaining these fibres. Keep up the fantastic work!

I am soooo in love with your channel! thank you so much for sharing with us :)

I love these fabric/material vodeos, more please! :)

Aloha Justine! I love this vid. Very informative and helpful! MAHALO! Love your channel btw!

Your awesome! I've learnt something new today! 👍🏻😊

This is probably the video I was looking for badly for years :DD

Thank you Justine, this was really helpful for me as a sweaty person ;)

Thank you so much!!! I learned so much!!!

Hey Justine! There was a shine in your eye through out the video...fabrics seems to be your favourite topic in fashion!!! 😊
