Q. Dear Umbra,
First let me say that I just discovered your column and have been happily spending most of my time reading your archives. Excellent stuff! I am a total fabric geek; I love to make my own clothes and other fabric-y items, but I worry about synthetics and chemical dyes and chemically grown fibers. I have spent countless hours on the web looking for a company that sells organic fabric by the yard suitable for wearing. Help, please!
Sara Olympia, Wash.
A. Dearest Sara,
Thank you. I am not a fabric geek, so I've run into a little puzzle answering your question. I found online fabric for you -- but is it unsuitable for wearing?
