A Better Question

@sewing@lemmy.world

In an earlier post (https://dice.camp/@Shkshkshk/111633486456196055) I asked about waterproof fabrics I could use in my next ruana cloak. I got lots of wonderful feedback, but I just thought of a new problem: at some point, I might decide to use a cloak pin to fasten it. I don't know of any waterproof fabric that can heal from having a pin poked through the middle of it. Are there any at least water resistant fabrics that can handle being pinned?

Wool. It's resistant and warm even when damp.

@Shkshkshk create dedicated holes for the pin? maybe even with an extra layer in the immediate surrounding fabric for added strength?
