Two sources I found helpful for fibre care:
The Ultimate Guide to Washing and Getting Stains Out of Wool. Retrieved from:

Leverette, Mary Marlowe. (2018). How to Remove Stains, Wash and Iron Silk Clothes. Retrieved from:

Class activity idea:
I think I would like to do an activity with Textile Production 10 where I take them shopping (probably second hand shopping) and they have to buy 2-3 garments made of different fabrics. Then they’d be responsible for washing, drying, ironing (or explaining why not to iron) and storing them. They’d have to do this in class, in person with me so they’d be doing hands on learning which would be a great experience! One of the outcomes in Textile Production 10 is to explain the textile care process.

but if I could comment I would say the history of some of the fabrics given is fantastic! Also I didn't know chiffon was made from silk so I learned something new!
