This page answers “Which fabrics are comfortable against skin?” and stops there. It does not rank skin friendly fabrics against every other cloth, and it does not turn fabric hand, sensitive skin into a shopping list.
Take the answer to a fabric page when you need composition, construction, or a published weight. Leave any cell blank that the fabric page leaves blank.
The marketplace is the catalog. A question page is the explanation. Share the question URL when the reader needs the definition, and the fabric URL when the reader needs the cloth.
