I went to a Christmas Market last Sunday, and it was very cold which made me wear multiple layers of clothing. I had a cotton undershirt and a wool sweater to go over it. I also wore a knit scarf and headband, and these all kept me warm. I experienced warmth with these layers, and each of the materials were all very comfortable. This inspired me to look into these different fabrics and see what they looked liked and how they were different, as they all combined to keep me warm but all felt very different on my skin. I am observing how different clothing items and materials look, specifically sherpa, silk, felt, and velvet.

1. Experimental Process: I used glass mounts to mount each sample as I ran out of paper mounts. This involved cutting out samples of various fabrics and mounting them with clear tape on a glass mount for observation. I looked at the samples under different magnification levels, specifically at 50x, 140x, and 340x.

2. Experiment Results: From this, I found that 50x magnification was the most useful in clear imaging. Compared to 140x or 50x, the 340x magnification was the blurriest and I could not see a clear image of each of the samples. This differs from my initial thought process, as I thought that 340x imaging would be the clearest. Also, it was interesting seeing how different fabrics looked. For the pink velvet and the black silk, I could clearly see the different patterns of stitching of the material. However, looking at the tan sherpa, we cannot see such a clear imaging of the fibers intertwined because they are not as closely knit as the other samples but instead just a bundle of fuzz.
