Veganizing my wardrobe was such a daunting thing, and if this helps even one person make a more informed decision (or not let their really awesome vegan boots get ruined from sitting too close to a radiator, ahem), then yay!

@Betsy: That’s good to know about ‘satin’ – I always read a fabric’s ‘breakdown’ to see what fibers it’s comprised of (raise your hand if you’ve ever accidentally melted something synthetic while ironing – anyone, anyone?) and for all I know, I may have come across something with silk in it but not realized it was a satin component. And when I start spinning in a couple of years, I am so going to pick your brain!

Love the article :)

Silk is also a common fibre used with a satin weave! I think ‘fleece’ is similarly ambiguous, but then I’m a spinner not a sewer so I’m not so familiar with fabric terminology that’s unrelated to handweaving :)

Looking forward to the Vegan Fibres article! (I’m not vegan, but I’m really interested in knowing what’s out there!)

Veganizing my wardrobe and shopping habits has, I confess, taken me time, and it’s the grand and defining project of my vegan life right now. Help from posts like this could not come at a better time, as I evolve toward a more compassionate lifestyle!
