Pure wool is capable of withstanding...Hi peacegoods<br />Pure wool is capable of withstanding the higher temperatures and of an iron, as is cotton/calico. The reason for the two different weights of fabric relates to pressing like fabrics together. For instance wool will sometimes be steamed over a ham to shape it. Calico will shrink when steamed,so the wool side of the ham is used. Conversly you would use the smoother lighter calico side for finer, lighter fabrics. Perhaps because the texture in the wool could imprint on very fine fabrics I guess.<br />PxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017802422891332588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241710623843639250.post-16369172848921908522012-03-05T16:26:05.562-08:002012-03-05T16:26:05.562-08:00Why pure wool??Why pure wool??peacedgoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722162319772822886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241710623843639250.post-6641970546513485092011-06-11T15:14:52.706-07:002011-06-11T15:14:52.706-07:00Hi, great blog - I love the things you are doing. ...Hi, great blog - I love the things you are doing. <br /><br />I have been wanting to make a tailor's ham for ages, but wasn't sure what to stuff it with - thanks for the tutorial.
