'penelope unraveling her work at night,' silk embroidered with silk thread; dora wheeler, north american, 1886.
Yeah, yeah, all the textile and fibre arts lead to each other, we all became trapped here long ago.
The danger zone is when they lead out of textile and fibre arts, into agriculture and woodworking and smithing and beyond.
I should build a warp weighted loom
Happy Tour de Fleece!
I'm in shock. An animator that actually did their research on how a wheel is supposed to look and work. No weird drive band, no nonsensical bobbin and flyer arrangement. If you look close, you can see where the orifice would be and you can tell its normally treadle powered. Im genuinely impressed
TT post by @ crafty.lad (he/him).
Iām kinda surprised that nalbinding isnāt as popular as crochet and knitting tbh because it has an even lower barrier of entry tools wise and unlike crochet and knitting it makes fabric that you can cut.
I guess itās because itās slower or something.
Nalbinding aka needle binding is when you use yarn and a big sewing needle to make fabric btw
It also has a lot of different kinds of stitches you can do that make different densities of fabric.
Some people even make rugs.
I feel like part of it might be casual people are generally aware of the existence of crochet and knitting, even if they donāt know very much about either, but have never heard of nalbinding
Yeah I hadnāt heard of it until recently and I ordered a big bone needle for myself to try it out and that should be arriving soon.
I was surprised that Iād never heard of it though. Itās older than knitting and crocheting and even though itās been done all over the world itās super relevant to Nordic culture and my grandmother and I are both into keeping in touch with our roots a bit so Iām surprised Iāve never heard of it.
It seems like the sort of thing that would be popular even if not as popular as crocheting and knitting, considering the low barrier of entry.
You also donāt need a bunch of different sized needles for nalbinding or whatever. The size of the stitch is controlled either completely freehand or by pulling it against one of your fingers. Most people who have a lot of nalbinding needles seem to either have tried out wood, bone, and metal ones to see which kind they liked or they enjoy carving wood or bone and like making their own needles as an extra hobby.
Itās also a lot easier to freehand and adjust as you go than crochet or knitting and you mostly go by inches instead of rows and number of stitches so a large number of accessories like stitch markers or whatever isnāt really necessary.
Maybe the lack of accessories also makes it unpopular idk. People do like collecting things in their nests.
I've been wanting to do so, I cannot find anyone who can teach me, and any books I can find on it are Ass in the Visual Learning department. Otherwise I'd be making the hell outta some nalbinded fabric
I found this channel by a nice man who makes up close tutorials
I create videos on YouTube to learn people how to needlebind using two fingers and your thumb. Needlebinding helps people to relax, relieve
I thought this would be kind of a niche post to make but I was quickly reminded that Iām on tumblr, the website full of gay people with one billion hobbies.
So my bone needle actually came this evening (yay!) and Iāve started trying this for real. It clicks in my brain way easier than crochet does. Iāve gotta work up the muscle memory but I think I can do this.
The downside as a beginner is that undoing mistakes is more time consuming than with knitting or crochet. Youāve gotta like sew your mistakes out backwards. Disadvantages of making a really sturdy fabric I guess.
I like the feel of this bone needle though and donāt think Iāll be trying the wooden or metal ones.
Also I think Iām gonna have to get good at doing Russian joining if I decide to get good at nalbinding because I donāt have wool yarn and the ends wonāt felt together if itās not at least 50% wool. A small price to pay for using big bone needle though.
Anyways curse of new fiber craft be upon ye.
If there's sound, don't worry about it, my husband was playing Fable 2 while I worked.
How in the hell did this get over 1000 notes?
I never get this much interaction.
Thanks everyone!

Thank you so much @eldriwolf !
"With genetic test results back from U.C. Davis Laboratories of toe-hair samples from each side of his body, I am excited to share that this sheep
š IS INDEED a CHIMERA š
His black mouflon side is a genetically different individual from his black gray side. The lab ran the test twice just to be sure!
Oh but wait, THERE IS MORE!
He is ALSO a she!
The black mouflon side is male.
The black gray side is female!
What I can tell you beyond these test results, is that this beautiful creature successfully bred four solid patterned ewes this winter that produced a total of 9 lambs, of which all were either solid pattern or mouflon pattern; 5 rams and 4 ewes. "

Initially I thought the zig zag between light and dark along the spine was just the lighting but no! That's the split in coat colours!
Threading the new warp is going well!
Sleying is also a breeze.
She's drooling on the fabric but she's purring too hard for me to be upset about it
such a good helper. Give her scritches for me
Knitting - Gothic
There are only 2 types of stitches. All others are variations on these types
You count as you knit. 136. You count your stitches again to be sure. 136. One more time to be extra sure. 142. You count again -
You do the heel turn perfectly. The gusset is a mess though
You are knitting in the round with many small, pointy needles. You stab yourself
You are knitting in the round with the normal amount of needles. You stab yourself
There are only 2 types of stitches
None of the actors shown knitting are knitting correctly
None of the products shown are actually knitted
Actually does modern Hollywood know what knitting is?
You see a cute pattern. It is crochet
You have a great idea and check Ravelry to find a pattern. There is none. You must make the pattern
There are only 2 types of stitches
"Can you make me x?"
"My (relative) used to knit!"
"What are you, an old lady?"
The tiny baby blanket used a mile of yarn
You are knitting. Your active yarn is wet. You have a cat. The cat is cute and innocent of all crimes
There are only 2 types of stitches
You have a yarn bag. You get a second yarn bag. You get a third yarn bag. All of your bags now have yarn in them
You have yarn at your superstore. That yarn feels Bad
You have a room full of yarn. You start a new project. You do not have The Yarn needed
Someone asks if they should get into knitting. Yes, you say. After all, there are only 2 types of stitches
Finally bought some dye and have been having so much fun with optical color mixing. I decided to start with cmyk primaries to get some vibrant color options.
So far I've only mixed up the main batch of colors, but I'll split them up and create a palatte of tints and shades once I have access to a scale again.
I don't have any fancy tools and have been blending the fiber by hand, so it's probably best I have a forced break for the sake of my fingers. Once I'm done I should have a very useful set of 57 2g swatches to play with! (Plus 5 more for a set of grayscale swatches)
If I'm still up for it, I might repeat the whole thing with my classic red, yellow, blue primary dye set. For a truly massive set of heather swatches.
I'll create a comprehensive guide to all the color mixes and my process once I'm done, but in the meantime here's a mixing guide for the colors I've already done!
The ratios are presented in the same order as the wool swatches in the photo above it. I didn't simplify any of the ratios so you'll have to deal with 2:2s instead of 1:1s, oops.
For anyone curious, I used brilliant yellow, deep magenta, and caribbean blue from Dharma dyes on their corriedale wool for my base colors.
that iis so cool!
I am 80% sure iām keeping this spin as a singles yarn to weave with, but every plyback sample tempts me to ply + knit
okay good night <3
that is so pretty!
