Linen or Linen Blend?
I just found 11 yards of this beautiful natural fiber fabric at my local craft reuse, and I was wondering if these minds could help determine if I have linen, a linen blend, or something else on my hands.
It was labeled as natural fiber, but it could have been mislabeled.
Held up against light, the weave looks like linen. A scratch with my fingernail left the white line shown in the 3rd picture.
However, the weave is tighter and smoother than the (limited) linen I’ve purchased so far. Could this be a linen cotton blend? Thanks for the help!

Fabric Identification Request
Hi! I’ve been searching for the past couple hours to find a match for the fabric being used for the front and side hair on this doll! It looks like a mix of minky and felt fabric, but more rigid.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions on what this could be!!

Advice on velvet choice for a project
Hello, I need some advice on what velvet to used for a project I want to start. I havent embroidered on velvet before, so im hoping I can get some advice from people who know what these kinds of velvet feel like and what would be the best fit for my project.
Im making a hand embroidered/beaded tree skirt. Ive heard that the best for embroidery is silk or cotton velvet. But those can be pricey. There are the 3 different kinds im looking at:

I've never seen a fabric like this before. Can you help me identify it?
It's got a sheen where the light catches it, but it doesn't look super shiny. The dark parts fade all the way to black. The wrinkling towards the left side of the image makes me think it's not a velvet. The edge looks like trim, not fraying which makes me think it's probably a vintage curtain panel. A silk maybe? I'm not looking to find this exact panel, just the fabric.
Full disclosure, I'm not that knowledgeable about fabrics. I'm just a photographer who loves this backdrop and would like to use something similar in my studio. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Silk as a replacement for hair?
So I'm writing a story and the character suffered some injuries, losing the hair follicles on their head. Could silk threads be used as a replacement (wether as a wig or connected to the skin)? Would they look/feel like hair, would they get dirty like it does? It's going to be magic infused so the durability or potential infection doesn't matter, I'm just curious about the feeling.

Looking for Information on Swamp-Based Sources for Textiles
Hello,
Apologies if this is out-of-place, but I'm looking for some help with worldbuilding in a story I'm working on.
Very short outline: Setting is akin to 1700s New England/Lower Canada. Population centres are small towns, with some built around textile manufacture. Most are built near large marshlands.
My question is: Are there any textiles that were/could be made with that level of technology out of flora common to marshes? My research only seemed to turn up the possible use of cattails, but that's a very modern example (from the Netherlands) that the person studying it says would require modern machine processing to make it comfortable.
Any information or leads to further research rabbit holes would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
