As you know I'm going through my website, having sort of a spring clean and what a good thing it's turned out to be. I'm finding lots and lots of things that needed fixing and are now fixed. I'm almost finished and it's looking really good, working better than ever and you will notice the difference.
I have discovered that I have a fair bit of Terylene (dacron) material for sale. It's great stuff but not many people know much about Terylene. So here is the first of my fabric care articles. This information is taken from a wonderful old book I own called Fabrics And Clothing published in 1959 and my copy is from Nagle Girl's High School South Blacktown. It's written by Miss J M Holt.

ReplyDeleteHi, glad your re-arranging of the stock/website has been successful.
Yes of course, I didn't think of that! Thanks Lyndel
ReplyDeleteYou would not wear it around your underarms--why? Is it toxic to any extent or in any way? Susan
ReplyDeleteNo, not toxic, just doesn't breathe or release odours easily.
ReplyDeleteDacron is Dupont's polyester. They started making it 1952 or '53 on license from ICI. I used to be a Duponter and made it at Old Hickory,TN.
