Even though it is very famous, many people do not know its origins. It is very important for us to know the origins of the most famous wools in the world. This wool is extracted from the fur of a certain type of goat. These goats can be found in many parts of the world including Iran, Tibet, China and India. Historically, rulers from different parts of the world have gifted clothes made out of this wool to their loved ones to show their affection. Clothes made out of this wool have always been considered a prized possession and an exotic gift. No wonder people who receive it treat it like a prized possession. It is very expensive and hence owing to market demand, many countries where it was not produced traditionally have started breeding Cashmere goats. There are many designs of clothes made out of this wool and it is extracted from different parts of the body of the goat. Goat down is the most popular and expensive because it is considered to be extremely soft.

Lawn Cloth

Lawn Cloth
Characteristics

Lawn is a lightweight, sheer cloth, crisper than voile but not as crisp as organdy. Lawn is known for its semi-transparency, which can range from gauzy or sheer to an almost opaque effect, known as lining or utility lawn. The finish used on lawn ranges from soft to semi-crisp to crisp, but the fabric is never completely stiff. Lawn can be white, or may be dyed or printed.

History

The term "lawn" derives from "Laon", a city in France, which produced large quantities of linen lawn.

Uses

Lawn cloth commonly is used for dresses, blouses, nightwear, underwear, lingerie, curtains, collar cuffs, shirting, infant wear, and handkerchiefs.

It is also commonly used in liturgical vestments in the Anglican churches, such as the surplice and episcopal rochet:

"No it was not for love of lucre that he wished to be bishop of Barchester. ...But he certainly did desire to play first fiddle; he did desire to sit in full lawn sleeves amongst the peers of the realm; and he did desire, if the truth must be out, to be called 'My Lord' by the reverend brethren."

Notes

^ Anthony Trollope, Barchester Towers, ch. 1.

Ripstop

Ripstop

Article by hi joiney

Applications Ripstop fabrics are often applied for use in yachts for sails and spinnakers, hot air balloons, kites, parachutes, camping equipment such as lightweight tents and sleeping bags, swags, flags, banners, and many other applications which require a strong lightweight fabric. Ripstop reinforcement can also be incorporated into heavier fabrics which require extreme durability, such as those used in the manufacture of Battle Dress Uniforms, Nomex protective clothing for firefighters and other workwear, outdoor and sports clothing, backpacks, luggage bags, etc. Self-adhesive ripstop cloth is offered to repair rips and tears in other fabrics. Ejector seat parachutes made with ripstop are woven with elastic like fabric so that they stretch to allow more air to pass through them at high speed, then as they slow up the weave closes and acts like a normal parachute. This allows the seat with the pilot in to slow down gently; otherwise the compression caused could result in injuries to the spine.

Entry from: Machu Picchu, Peru Entry Title: "The Inca Trail" Entry: "We left Cuzco with our group at about 6am on day one. Our group consisted of only 4, Erik and I and two awesome 18 year old Canadian guys, Keith and Zac. For just the four of us there were nine porters (!!!) and a tour guide named Roberto. Day one. We went through check point one, got the stamp in the passport and the photo underneath the entrance sign. We walked for about 7 hours to our first camp. We stopped off for lunch half way which was amazing. We were expecting sweaty sandwiches, we got a 3 course meal set up in a cute little tent. The lunch stop came complete with 4 little bowls water, soap, and 4 little hand towels. Not the kind of camping I'm use to. Day one wasn't too hard, it was loads easier having just the 4 of us. Although me, being the only girl, always had to play catch up. I got bitten by sand flies at one stop, bites that would last for the next month of my travels. Evening one and dinner was better than lunch. The porters and the chef really out do themselves. You can understand why the tours are so expensive. Day 2: Dead Woman's Pass. Day 2 was the toughest day. Dead woman's pass is the highest part of the trail and the summit is at around 4215 meters. We started out at about 6.30 am and made it to the top by ...
