Site to help one distinguish between different fabrics?
Say, for example, I want to know what the fabric on my DDs stuffed animal is just by touch and sight?
Or, how to tell the difference between minkie and velboa and velour.
And how to determine if what I have is silk.
Nutmeg, cilantro, sage, mint, thyme... these are a few of my favorite things!

We have four children; one left us too soon.
Re: Site to help one distinguish between different fabrics?
I have this book - it's helpful for this sort of thing but I usually rely on the label. I have the book more for looking up about the fabrics when I know what they are to begin with. HTH!
