It helps to organize those fabrics mentioned often on the boards, and when something is a blend, it might explain why it works/doesn't work for you.

This is a chart that helps take care of those fibers.  I have never seen some of these symbols.

Thanks Lola, I'm printing this one out.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise
