Instagram will no longer encrypt dms, so make sure you know that all of your messages can be read

[karadin]

instagram will no longer promote those who aggregate/repost content, and suggest finding ways to make content on your own.

[karadin]

instagram will now use 'direct replace' which means if you share or aggregate content, it will redirect to the original poster/creator.

#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.

[wuxiaphoenix]

Not a lie. Stay away from the fiber, it'll getcha!
