| What's your favorite kind of specialty fiber?
Tussah silk, hemp, soy, nettle, flax, linen, cotton, organic, color-grown?
I loooove hemp - it's durable, anti-fungal and is a wonderfully efficient plant!

I like cotton, I think I'm allergic to linen. I have hives.

| I guess it depends on what it's for, I love to wear cotton but hemp jewelry is so pretty, especially with fimo beads tied into it.

| Hemp can be, I have a pretty anklet made from it and it has flower shaped beads in it. I bought it in an accessory shop rather than make it.
Silk sheets are nice to lay in, all smooth and, well, silky. Satin feels similar and you can wash it!

| I'd be afraid to get it wet ;_;
I love microfiber material, it's so plush and soft. I want my bathrobe and slippers made from it.

| Hemp macrame is a lot of fun to make, but the beads are another story haha
I was thinking for clothing and accessories (scarves, hats, gloves?), what kinds of materials do you guys like?

I think silk would be my favorite, but I also like velvet, I had a couple shirts made of that.

| I hate velvet. I cannot stand to touch it. It makes me shutter to even think about it. My senior year of high school, our choir dress was half velvet. I hated putting it on and wearing it.
My pants rip the most out of all my clothes.

| Nothing of mine really rips unless I trip or something.
DX But last night while I was playing laser tag a fat guy shoved me into the wall and the shoulder of my shirt ripped. Jerk...
