High priority for me rn to figure out something I can add to my bags to hold notions, because crochet hooks and knitting needles are not safely held by anything as far as I can tell... constantly keeping an ear out for the clatter of a tool falling out of the bag

I’m really tempted to make a Hatchetfield custom letterman jacket

it’d be expensive and stupid but damn I’m a sucker for that kind of shit

Any people with sheep in the central florida area willing to sell wool to me?

I'm willing to clean and process it myself - I want to try making my own wool batting for quilts. But I can't have the damn cute things in my back yard ( not enough space, HOA would also say no).

If you also know cheaper ways to get 100% wool for quilt batting let me know too ( that stuff is expensive); but yeah I'm happy to throw money at local people who can give wool.

Is there like a network or forum I can join of sheep farmers willing to sell wool? Come on guys, we gotta keep the sheep people in business!!!

That post about using cotton thread for garment making drives me up the wall. Cotton thread fucking sucks. It’s not durable at all for every day clothing use. The only projects that you should be using cotton thread for 100% of the time is for things that are going to be exposed to high heat (ex. microwave cozies and pot holders) because it’s crucial that you use something that won’t melt. If you’re making clothes or costumes just use polyester. It’s fine. You’ll be fine.

I would love to work with wool batting again. Buuuuut would batting that can go through the washer and dryer without shrinking or being damaged is very expensive.

One of my goals this year is to get a fill sized ironing mat and cover for my ironing board, not just one of the smaller mats. It's gonna be pricey, around $100, but it will be so worth it.

So…any plans for the waste fiber? I've just started Getting into combing wool myself and while I would love to someday have garden access I currently live in a top floor apt so composting is immediately out. I am currently using it as stuffing but I only really need or want one pillow maybe 2. I've also thought about wet felting and using that as batting for a quilt but idk if or when I'll have enough time (or wool) to make a quilt. (Because of course I have to quilt by hand! Wouldnt dream of doing it any other way....)

Personally, I process it on hand cards and then either spin the resulting rolags into a textured yarn, or else then put them on the blending board. You can most likely (depending on your particular combing waste) just fluff it up by hand and spin it as is.

Wet felting it into quilt batting is a super cool idea, I really love that. I wonder if the short + tangled combo of combing waste might cause some difficulties, but I'd imagine most breeds would still felt ok !

Tbh I always recommend just saving your waste fiber (sorted by project or breed or whatever, if you can) and waiting till you've got a lot of it or inspiration strikes.

Cozy quilting and cute kanzashi

Now that I'm back in Montreal and settled in, it's time to get back in the groove. What better way to start than with pieces I acquired while I was in California? Ohio Kimono shared these on facebook and I just fell hard. I'm not generally drawn to casual pieces like this lately, but they're both so unique that I couldn't resist. The kimono may look like patchwork but it's actually woven wool like this. The obi is utterly charming with lots of little kanzashi on it. I thought the warm muted tones suited each other really well so I decided to put them together. The outfit did feel a bit heavy though, so I introduced some yellow accessories to brighten things up a little. I think it worked out well, the yellow was just the right finishing touch. I'd forgotten how much I love wool kimono for their ease of dressing, especially on a mannequin. Silk and polyester are so slippery and want to fight you every step of the way. Wool is grippy and textured and stays exactly where you put it. I wish it wasn't such a casual-only fabric! Maybe I should make more of a point of coordinating the wool pieces I have in the near future. Ohio Kimono was kind enough to gift these pieces to me. You should absolutely check their shop out if you haven't already, they have new gorgeous stock directly from Japan all the time. I haven't had the chance to catalogue these pieces yet so no little items thumbnails today, sorry! Read the full article

me like: i wonder what would happen if you tried to quilt partially/fully-felted roving to an outer cotton shell. like could you make weird hippie sweatpants or would getting the wool felted enough to be quiltable onto the cotton without an inner woven layer to sandwich it in place make it too not-fleecy to have the right feel. 🤔
