Liquid Knit - OMG - Page 2

Put me in the "don't like liquid knit" column.

I tried tops and pants.

Too flimsy .... I prefer a fabric that's not so thin and stretchy.

I don't mind ironing.

I never liked "liquid knit". It's a fancy word for polyester. Susan keeps saying how that's the most requested fabric ever. I disagree, all I see are people asking for more cotton and natural fabrics. I guess the liquid, and it is cheaper to manufacture.

I agree it's gotten to be really pricey these days. But they sell a boat load of it and the pieces I picked up off of ebay are very nice.

There are different weights of liquid knit however. I guess I don't have any of the thin pieces.

I bought liquid knit from Susan Graver and I really think I was allergic to it. I found it made me sweaty and very uncomfortable. Just not for me. It reminded me of the Huckapoo shirts from the 70's that were wildly popular. Hot, sticky and ugh.🥺

Omg, I wore the Huck-a-Poo shirts, too! Loved them. Never thought they were hot and sticky, tho. Of course I was in HS then, lol. Can't stand polyester (liquid knit) because it sticks and makes me sweat. It's just horrible.

I really like reading posters different opinions/experiences with a product like liquid knit as long as it stays focused on the topic and doesn't get personal.

All opinions/experiences are valid.

It is still just polyester. I have several liquid knit tops from years ago when I was still working. They were perfect for easy wash and wear and stood up to a whole day without wrinkling or losing their shape. The worst thing is this fabric is super hot when the weather is hot and humid...lots of days like that here and it sticks to you and makes you sweat...I only wore it in the fall and spring. It has become way overpriced for what it is. I still wear some of the solids that have square necklines....very nice for church or dinner out with travelers black pants. The neckline gives me a chance to wear some of my larger necklaces I don't wear much anymore. The tops still look like new and have been washed a lot. never dried any of my LK; just washed and hung to dry.

I wear a lot of tank tops (under sweaters, open shirts etc.). I have never found a better tank than liquid knit by Graver. Looks great under all clothing. Not bulky and colors are great. I also have many of her other tops in liquid knit. They last for years and always look nice. A good clothing investment.

@Kachina624 The OP made that comment to raise the ire in folks. I just don't get people knowingly making comments forbthe specific purpose of putting down a line of fabrics just because they don't like it. Even couture houses use synthetic fabrics because cotton and wool are too expensive and quite frankly more durable. I have all kinds of fabrics in my wardrobe. I happen to love modal and rayon and polyester and blends of all three fabrics. I have very few 100% cotton in my wardrobe because it wrinkles and fades and after a few washings, they are ready for the trash.
