Lost fabric knowledge

Do you know how much there is to know about fabric?! There is tonnes to know about fabric. This is something we have majorly lost in the move away from handmade and towards industrial clothing production. We have not a damn clue about fabrics, different types, different properties, different benefits, hence we willingly walk around wearing crap fabric that has no durability, no pull resistance, and we have no clue how to look after it.
