Peat fabric February 21, 2008

Posted by Library Answer Person in : Clothes , trackback
Where can I buy a sweater made of wool and peat? Or at least peat and some kind of other fabric. Thank you!

Perhaps at a nursery. Or, you can get your wool sweater dirty with peat while engaged in gardening chores. I think that “peat” is sometimes used by designers to denote an earthtone color, hence references to a “peat fabric.” Apparently sometimes soil scientists will use the term “peat fabric” to refer to the stuck-together layer of peat in a peat deposit. It doesn’t seem to be the sort of material, however, that lends itself to spinning into yarn and weaving, or to felting. It’s up to you to purchase a cubic yard of the stuff in the lawn supply section of Home Depot and figure out how to make a fabric out of it.
