So many fiber arts have difficulty levels that are less about your level of skill than your ability to tolerate extreme multi-step processes.
Its also probably one of the reasons why any fiber art is a gateway drug into every other fiber art. I could do [other fiber art], I basically do half of those steps already for [current fiber art]. If I’m already doing 18 steps to make this sweater, is it really that many more steps if I spin my own wool? If I had sheep, I could skip the step of sourcing my material.
#fiber arts#y'know this is a really fascinating and accurate way of looking at it#that gets even more fascinating as I think about my own ADHD and how it interacts w this#yeah I can do a bunch of steps but there are reasons my fav fiber arts are the ones you can stop and start#and fully dismantle if you get bored of the project while still reusing materials
