Do you want to get „Postcards from Maggi“? I recently started my newsletter where I share some updates and behind the scenes stuff… I think it is a nice way to stay connected outside of KZbin. It‘s published every first Sunday of the month (which I believe is more than enough… 😂 I‘m not that interesting and less is more). Make me happy and sign up here: maggifuchs.kit.com/signup

Thanks! I especially appreciated your comments about the textile industry. I found them very informative. I look forward to your next video about the clothes you like the best.

[@MaggiFuchs]

Thank you! Glad you liked it! :)

[@Gevedon]

Fantastic information, Maggi! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@JodyLifeofAMom]

You always have the best travel advice! Can’t wait to see what your travel wardrobe looks like. 😊

[@MaggiFuchs]

Glad you enjoy it. Well, I can already warn you: it’s not very fashionable, but definitely functional… 😂

[@JodyLifeofAMom]

@ Function wins every time. I have a pretty boring wardrobe too but its so much easier than having to match and “make outfits” and have to think 😂

[@CraftsBayou]

I always learn so much from you! Thanks for your insights!

Thank you very much! Very helpful video for me and I look forward to your next one. Subscribed and signed up for newsletter as I’m finding your videos very practical and helpful for me. One test I’ve used when determining whether a garment will “pass my wrinkle test” - on the back bottom hem area of the item, I gather a bit of material in my hand and kind of ball it up or squeeze it then let go - if most of the wrinkles don’t fall out after a shake and a little smoothing, I don’t buy. I only do that if seriously considering though. I appreciate your work here!

[@MaggiFuchs]

Yay! Thanks for signing up! :) And thanks for sharing your wrinkle test!

Nicely explained! Btw, instead of wool detergent, you can use shampoo....hair and wool are very similar 😊

[@MaggiFuchs]

I also sometimes used shampoo, especially on shorter trips. :) But from my understanding, only ph-neutral shampoo without any additives like enzymes or silicone etc will be best for Merino.

I wore a lot of linen on a recent trip to Africa, and it was great! I dont worry about wrinkles much, and the humidty in the air released most of them anyway.

Including the drying times is so helpful. Thank you. I do trying time investigations as well. 😂❤

[@MaggiFuchs]

I love calling it “drying time investigations”… 😂😂😂

I use a solid bar wool laundry soap from Twig and Horn to wash my merino clothes. They also make a liquid wool soap. Both contain Lanolin to help replenish the oil in the fabric which gives it the anti-microbial properties and keeps it soft. I’ve also seen wool bar soap on Etsy. I have tried a lot of merino brands and like Ibex the best for quality and durability. Their fabric has a beautiful luster that makes it look a little dressier for dining out after a day of hiking or sightseeing. I’ll add a nice scarf to dress it up when going into a nice restaurant.
