Does anyone else have this problem? I have been rearranging my stash and my hands get so dry after handling the fabric. I use hand cream AFTER I am through with the fabric. I have also noticed that my fingernails get dry and brittle after handling fabric & then they start breaking. Any good remedies?

The same thing happens with handling paper, the fabric and paper absorb the oils in your skin.

Add afew drops of caster oil to your hand lotions. Really add moisture to your hands or body.

It's the sizing in the fabric. Used to work as a cutter at Joann's and my hands were a mess! The only solution is to pre-wash your fabrics.

Mine would get really bad, so I had to start washing my fabric as soon as I get it home. I also use Udder Cream regularly.

I wash my hands frequently at the blood bank, wear gloves but they still get dry. I keep a bottle of HoofMaker with me at all times and everyone who wants it can use it. Works well for me.
I even put it in pretty containers at home and use it all the time.
