Shatnez Checking

Question:

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I have one more specific and one more general. If I have a sweater that contains 29% polyester, 28% Acrylic, 20% Nylon, 18% Modal, and 5% wool, does it need to be checked.
My general question is, is there a way I can check clothing myself? When do I know if I need to give it in to check? Is it if it contains only a certain percentage of wool?
Thank you, Kol Tuv.

 

Answer:

Hello,

Regarding your first question, this is something that should be discussed with someone from your area how is trained to test shatnez. Here are some local numbers you can call

718-382-5689,

718-435-0992,

718-387-8520

Regarding your second question, checking for shatnez needs training, and I don’t think it is something that anyone can do at home.

Best wishes
