An encouraging take on why and how to stop using Pinterest, which us people looking for specific image references have hated for years because of how it's poisoned image search... (The original source! Give it to me!)
"When you're exploring sources that aren't designed for marketing, you don't just find pretty images. You find stories, histories, details that will surprise you." And friction in the experience makes you act, not just scroll.
@futurebird Absolute hard no on synthetic fibres whenever possible, but I quite like 100% cotton flannel! Plaid is just the pattern while flannel is the weave (that gets brushed to make it fluffy) and did use to refer to wool only, but these days can be any fibre as long as it's treated the same...
Printed on patterns offend me, deeply. The print is never quite on grain, so if you cut the fabric on grain, the patterns will not match. You'll end up with either a wonky garment or wonky patterns. Unacceptable! 
Wool, in some cases, can be very very nice... But also I have three cats, I can't be bothered to own a casual use garment that I can't launder the everliving fuck out of if a cat horks, pees or rubs something worse on it! Jackets and coats I'll take in wool, though.
I don't always wear the colours of my people (plaid flannel, lesbians) but when I do, I make warm Victorian underwear out of it. Leisurely putting together a couple of pairs of drawers to recuperate from yesterday.
It is the season! Shawl season! Tagging in #Selfie so people can filter out, but this is here so you can look at my cat!
