I just had to collect all of these responses together in one place

Edit: And one from my friend, who doesn't have a tumblr (yet)

#i keep waiting for someone to address the '18th century looms were huge' claim#like sure some were#but the fact that textile mills had been invented doesn't mean that all home weaving ceased#indeed people still weave for fun or profit in this the 21st century#smaller looms were still being built and used in the 18th century just as smaller looms are still being built and used today#and that's without considering the existence of inkle/tape/band looms which were/are used for making narrower woven ribbons for trimming etc#small 18th century looms absolutely exist

there are thousands of notes and a few people ABSOLUTELY addressed this xD

I wanna add mine! But it still has some assembling to do before I can move on to the next step

My wife did a lot of hand crafts while we were dating. After we got engaged, my father piped up that at least she didn't have a spinning wheel. We put it in the doorway the first time my parents came to visit.

Her loom is packed away at the moment so she can work on an uncountable number of knitting projects and metalwork at the moment.

Fibercrafts.

Not even once. You start with "Oh, I'd love to learn the drop spindle" And the next minute your home office is occupied by a loom, you're planting flax in the garden, and considering the logistics of owning an alpaca.

I’m never going to be able to describe to young people how weird it was to go like a quarter of a century never knowing anyone like yourself, and then suddenly find your people thanks to the internet, and then spend 10ish years sharing Some Inexplicable Something with Certain Corners Of The Internet, and then find out that Something was a neurodevelopmental disorder called autism, and somehow the tumblr experience is still pretty much exactly the same as before we all knew this
