Unfortunately, the fabric ended up not being entirely suitable... But I honestly think that the project is still feasible - perhaps if I tweak the design and change the fabric. I actually found a new one online called 'NeoSoilon' developed by NASA, of all people. | |

For now, I just spend some time and money on getting fabric and clothes made from sumptuous fibres, glorious to the touch and beautiful in shape, then have them hanging in the closet while I run daily errands in jeans and a sweater. :/ | |

In light of your comment on the question, I am afraid that fabric tea bags are even less suited to your situation than to using them at home. It may be prudent to first make a low-cost, low-effort test with ready-made cotton bags, and only if the logistics turn out to be favorable (and the taste unacceptable) go ahead with silk, which is more hassle to source and to maintain. If you do want to go for silk-linnen, you may also check embroidery supply stores, they stock high quality undyed natural fabrics. The downside is that there, high density is preferred. | |

| Mar 10, 2023 at 20:06 | comment | added | Andrew Jackson | Thank you so much for your insight and advice! 😁 I realize that my request is unorthodox, but I can assure you that it has a perfectly rational explanation. I think the silk-flax voile fabric may be my best choice here, but I’ll probably try the pure silk organza as well to be sure. | |
