good night to everyone except whoever decided to not stock my favorite yarn in any solid colors anymore

Bro I thought you straight up got ur hair wrapped round some big ass auto body drill bit mid turn made my whole fuckin body wince like involuntary vocalization n all

Ahah. Its hemp used for plumbing on a threaded angle valve (or whatever they are called in english)

But I get you....When I was wrapping it, my dad told me it looks just like my hair too...

The fun thing about being left-handed but a right-handed crocheter is learning how to better be ambidextrous... like I feel like I'm learning forbidden knowledge

sheep shearing videos on youtube are so incredible. you either have a texas lesbian making great puns as she throws around sheep or you have a scottish guy saying "you're okay lass" every 30 seconds and either way you come out of it damn well aroused

I think I've officially settled on Lenka, suggested by @phallicthimble ! The name means light and is of Czech/Slovak origin.

We've uncovered that my family is from that strange nexus between countries where the Carpathian Mountains are. So this feels especially fitting!

MILF (man, I love fiber)

My #1 piece of advice for fiber arts hobbies is find real life local community to engage with if you can. I've learned more handy tricks and advice about spinning from the owner of my local yarn and weaving shop than from hours of online tutorial videos. AND made a friend too 🥰🥰🥰

Which is rewarding in itself of course. But as a bonus sometimes when you go see your friend for help tuning up your spinning wheel, she'll go "Hey, a beloved customer just passed away and left me all her weaving stuff. Do you want any wool?"

And thats how you come home with two gigantic boxes of beautiful wool roving for $20 😍

somehow at 15” I’m still on the first fucking skein of yarn HOW FAR DOES THIS THING GO

[milkweedman]

This little sample is 100% milkweed silk. I'm using a very small--albeit not very light--supported spindle. I just wanted to try out this tiny art spindle I carved like months ago. It's a little shorter than a sharpie, works great, probably will work even better when the tips of my thumbs aren't super bruised from the whittling (has been long enough the callouses were gone). Might also try with my wheel at some point although it sounds like a nightmare to me. I don't have any cotton spinning tools, so supported spindles are probably the best for now.

Problem mostly is that it's very similar to spinning cotton, because ive never been any good at spinning cotton. So I might need to practice cotton instead, as I have more of it.

But this is a small sample of two ply (with a wool single as a leader). I tried spinning it with variable amounts of twist--it didn't tolerate a ton before snapping, but held together fine at a medium twist. I don't know about strength yet. But it's so soft and glittery and warm--just holding it in the fingertips makes it hot. It's pretty fantastic at the moment. We'll see how it ages.

Not to continue being unhinged about the Mario Movie but I love that so many people went into it with the Bowuigi mindset from the horny trailer clips (myself included) and came out the other side with them
