The principle regarding clothing mixtures, as outlined, emphasizes that materials of widely differing character and texture should not be combined. Plant cellulose fibers, such as linen and cotton, and animal protein fibers, like wool and silk, differ significantly in strength, washability, and absorption, and thus should not be mixed. However, combinations within similar fiber types, such as cotton with linen or wool with mohair and silk, are acceptable due to their compatibility. Synthetic fabrics, including Dacron, nylon, polyester, and rayon, can be combined with natural fibers if they are made to have similar characteristics, ensuring they mix well without damaging each other. The concern lies in mixing fibers with markedly different qualities, as such combinations often result in lower quality garments. God desires that manufacturers avoid producing shoddy materials to exploit customers. When selecting clothing, whether pure or mixed, one should aim to purchase the best quality affordable to honor and glorify God, especially for garments worn to church services, while avoiding debt for unaffordable quality.
