Linen Sweaters Require Professional Testing! ­ Dear friend,   I hope this message finds you well! Recent findings continue to emphasize the importance of having linen garments, particularly jackets and sweaters, tested at certified shatnez laboratories. The images in this email, feature a sweater brought to the Flatbush Shatnez Laboratory for testing.

These are from the remarks from the laboratory after thoroughly testing the sweater: This linen sweater was tested and discovered to have seams made of pure wool. The woolen yarn matches the knit yarn in both color and appearance and was only identified after careful examination.

More Shatnez Found in Non-woolen Suits ­ Dear friend,   I hope this message finds you well! Recent findings show that more non-woolen suits have been discovered with shatnez, emphasizing the importance of testing all polyester and non-woolen suits. Several polyester suits from the brand Creativo have tested positive for shatnez. Pictures are attached, showing the linen-blend taper reinforcement. These suits were sold in a well-known Jewish-owned store in Lakewood, New Jersey, not far from Beth Medrash Govoha. The buyers, aware that polyester suits require professional shatnez testing, ensured they were tested accordingly.
