Azlon from A to Z

[joules]

I've noticed Azlon content in a few contemporary items, such as scarves at Banana Republic, and I came across this informative article, called 'Meet the Azlons from A to Z : Regenerated & Rejuvenated'. It's complete with vintage to illustrate, and quite interesting: http://www.fabrics.net/joan103.asp

Interesting article, Julie. I don't think I've ever come across anything with that mentioned on the content label.

I found it all quite fascinating, and we no doubt have encountered it through the years, perhaps not even realizing.

I'm tempted to order one of these pillows, but I would prefer standard size:

I had a coat with casein listed. It turned it in less than 24 hrs so never had chance to investigate. Now I actually know next time is see something. Thanks for posting...great article.

Wasn't it interesting to learn that 'Aralac' casein had the dubious property of smelling of sour milk? Yikes!

Well, I had a 40% off coupon, so I bought one of those BR scarves. The hand is lovely and soft, as the blend is organic cotton and Azlon, derived from soy.

This one with wool and Azlon was also nice:

Melody, I thought you would like this article, being a confirmed, self-confessed textile nerd!

I feel the same way; anytime I hear the word 'Spinneret' I'm all ears!
