my mother (jokingly) called me a tradwife the other day because I asked for fiber arts stuff for Christmas 😅 we then had to explain to my dad what a tradwife is.

but seriously, it is crazy to me that there are two parallel movements of young people doing crafts, making their own food/clothing, and pushing for more sustainable lifestyle. But one movement is assigning religious meaning to it and also advocating for a return to “conservative family values” while the other movement is very progressive and doing it for a more environmentally friendly way of living. We’re a weird generation, fellow gen z’s

when we last saw our hero (me, in this instance), they had just run out of photos on their sheep and wool post because apparently the accursed tumblr app has a ten-photo limit. fear not, though, because now i'm on my actual computer!

so: bendigo sheep and wool pt ii: the fibre!!

i bought a couple silk hankies, because i've never spun one before and it sounded fun, and they were cheap. couldn't find any undyed, alas, but surely someone on the internet does that, right?

i also bought some dyed mulberry silk. i've got some tussah that i'm going to dye, but these were pretty and relatively inexpensive, and i'm a sucker.

aaaaaand then i bought some sari silk, which i've never used before! several of you have been doing some gorgeous stuff with sari silk recently, though, and i'm a copycat, so here we are.

i have no idea why my phone decided that all of these needed to have ~depth~ added to the shots, but i'm not hauling all of this out again, so here we are. you get the vibe.

i also got a little coil of bamboo fibre, because i've never spun bamboo on its own before. (i don't know if i'll actually spin this on its own or if i'll blend it, but now i have the option!)

i also got a thing of optim fibre (incredibly poorly formatted post from 2011, but explanatory), which i've never used before—it's merino that's been processed to stretch it out, making it even finer and softer. it's sort of weird to touch—it feels more like silk or created fibres than it does wool, but it seemed like it would be fun to try.

moving on to even more exciting stuff, we bought some castledale top. castledale isn't a breed yet, but is being developed as one, and i've heard that it's a delight to spin.

obviously it was important that we get both the plain and the kind with silk in it.

and, see, that was important because we hadn't yet done the most exciting thing we did all weekend, which was finding some gorgeous, affordable, locally made hand combs!

if you're in australia and want fibre tools, you should absolutely check out their website, and honestly, even if you're not, the shipping might be worth it. they were so, so nice, and the tools we got there are just gorgeous. (they're less yellow than this, in person, but my phone doesn't play nicely with the purple light in my bedroom at eleven p.m.)

we ended up getting mini combs, because as we were talking, the guy who makes them noticed my heavily kt-taped wrist and pointed out that the mini combs are less wear on your wrists, which sold me.

they also had some wonderfully designed lazy kates, which will hopefully let me avoid ever having to do this again.

the cleverest part is that it flat packs—the bobbin holders just lift out, and the orifice (it has an orifice!!) is held in place by the little screw up front. the tension is controlled by turning the knob, just like on a spinning wheel.

can't say enough about what lovely people they were, and i'm so excited to have enough fine motor control that it feels safe to assemble the cards. this weekend, hopefully.

and you might be thinking 'ok but are you just like...using those for blending?' and the answer would be no!! because we also bought these!

i went in thinking 'oh, i'm going to get something that's not an incredibly fine wool,' but like...what was i thinking? we're in australia. the only thing anyone produces here is fine wools! which isn't at all a complaint, because this looks gorgeous. so we got 1.5 kilos of corrie, and 1.7 of a bond/merino cross. the cross in particular looks absolutely stunning, and i cannot wait to start playing with them.

the rather elderly (80-ish?) woman working at the north east yarns booth gave us a lengthy talk about spinning in the grease, which i might try. one of the really interesting things to me here was that i've only ever looked at raw fleeces in the northeastern us before now, where the weather concerns are...uh, somewhat different? these fleeces don't have the dirt that i've seen on raw fleece before, just dusty bits—they're almost more like what i would associate with alpaca with regards to actual dirt/vm, but with bonus lanolin. so that's a nice bonus, and makes the idea of spinning in the grease was less offputting. (yes, i know that you can buy cleaner fleeces in the united states, too, and you can coat your sheep or have dry weather or whatever, but that's not an experience that i personally have had.)

this concludes (mostly) the list of things i bought at sheep and wool (also i bought slippers), and illustrates both why i cannot be trusted and also incredible restraint on my part.

Basalt Fiber Market: Revolutionizing Industries with Sustainability and High Performance

Basalt fiber might not yet be a household name, but it’s quickly earning its place as a material that’s rewriting the rules in several industries. What makes basalt fiber stand out is its ability to combine sustainability with high performance—two qualities that industries today are desperate to balance.

Sourced from volcanic rock, basalt fibers are incredibly strong, lightweight, and resistant to extreme conditions. Unlike some conventional materials, their production doesn’t require harmful chemicals, making them an eco-friendly alternative. For industries like construction, automotive, wind energy, electronics, and marine, basalt fiber isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity for staying relevant in a world demanding greener and better-performing materials.

The global basalt fiber market is poised for significant growth, with an expected valuation of USD 279 million in 2023, and a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of

12.5% throughout the forecasted period, aiming to reach USD 503 million by 2028. 

The Unique Strength of Basalt Fiber

The appeal of basalt fiber goes beyond its novelty. It is naturally robust, boasting high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion. Imagine a material that can endure the harshest environments—extreme heat, chemicals, or even saltwater—without breaking down. That’s basalt fiber.

But what really excites engineers and designers is its versatility. It’s lightweight yet tough, cost-effective yet high-performing, and, perhaps most importantly in today’s climate-conscious world, recyclable and non-toxic.

Unlike carbon fiber, which can be expensive, or fiberglass, which may fall short in eco-credentials, basalt fiber is the perfect middle ground. Its production process—melting volcanic rock at high temperatures and pulling it into fibers—requires no additives, which keeps it clean and simple.

Applications Driving Basalt Fiber Demand

1. Building Stronger, Greener Infrastructure

In construction, basalt fiber is making waves as a revolutionary reinforcement material. For decades, we’ve relied on steel, but in environments prone to moisture or chemicals, steel corrodes, leading to costly repairs and maintenance. Basalt fibers offer a solution with corrosion resistance and durability that outlasts traditional materials.

Think of bridges, seawalls, or even underground tunnels—structures where durability is critical. Basalt fiber-reinforced concrete doesn’t just last longer; it’s also lighter, which reduces transportation costs and simplifies installation.

2. Transforming Automotive and Transportation

The automotive world is laser-focused on cutting weight to improve fuel efficiency and meet stringent emission norms. Basalt fiber fits perfectly into this equation. From car body panels to interior components, its strength-to-weight ratio is hard to ignore.

It’s also popping up in trucks, trains, and even shipping containers. A lighter vehicle isn’t just more fuel-efficient—it also reduces wear and tear on roads, making basalt fiber a win-win for the entire transportation ecosystem.

3. Boosting Wind Energy Efficiency

The renewable energy industry is turning to basalt fiber for its ability to handle stress and environmental extremes. Wind turbine blades, in particular, face constant mechanical and environmental challenges. Basalt fibers provide the strength, flexibility, and weather resistance needed to enhance blade performance and longevity.

For a sector trying to reduce costs while improving energy output, basalt fiber-based composites are becoming the go-to material.

4. Enhancing Electrical and Electronic Safety

Basalt fiber’s non-conductive properties make it a natural fit for the electrical and electronics industry. It’s used in circuit boards, insulation, and protective casings. With the growing emphasis on energy-efficient appliances and safer electronics, basalt fiber ensures products meet performance and safety standards.

5. Sailing Ahead in the Marine Industry

Saltwater is unforgiving, especially for traditional materials like steel or fiberglass. Basalt fiber’s resistance to saltwater and chemicals makes it ideal for marine applications like boat hulls, underwater pipelines, and fishing rods.

It’s lightweight, meaning ships and boats consume less fuel, contributing to greener maritime operations. For an industry battling both environmental and cost pressures, basalt fiber is a breath of fresh air.

Why Basalt Fiber is the Future

Sustainability Leads the Way

The days of choosing materials purely for performance are over. Sustainability is no longer optional. Basalt fiber’s eco-friendly production process—requiring no harmful additives—makes it a leader in sustainable materials.

Infrastructure Investments

With nations modernizing old infrastructure and building new projects, there’s a growing need for corrosion-resistant, durable materials. Basalt fiber fits the bill perfectly, ensuring longevity in everything from highways to high-rises.

Growing Demand in Emerging Markets

Emerging economies in regions like Asia-Pacific and the Middle East are adopting basalt fibers rapidly, thanks to their cost-effectiveness and versatility. These regions are investing heavily in infrastructure, automotive production, and renewable energy, making them hotbeds for basalt fiber adoption.
