If you have no idea what fiber art to start with - as in, you aren't sure what you'll like, and don't have much of a clue - you should honestly start with a mixture of whatever piques your interest. Knitting needles and crochet hooks, at the least, are often very cheap per set brand-new, or you can look at secondhand stores if you want them cheaper (other fiber arts tools like looms may be more pricey, depending on what you want). If you can, look for classes such as a crafts class - a library might have something akin to this, some will have craft spaces with a variety of little crafters things.
There's sometimes this idea floating around that you are only permitted to do one craft at once - this isn't true. You are a multifaceted, complex person. It only makes sense, then, that your art is the same. Fiber art is an expression of one's humanity in its rawest form, no matter what you pick up. This goes for all art beyond the fiber arts, too! Art is an expression of your humanity. Let it express that 💛

Dietary Fiber Benefits: If You Are Not Getting Enough Fiber Through Your Diet, Consider Adding..
Dietary fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is essential for maintaining good health. It is found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. While fiber is not a nutrient that provides energy or essential vitamins, it plays an important role in maintaining good digestive health and preventing chronic diseases. Here are some of the benefits of dietary fiber:

Improves Digestive Health: One of the most well-known benefits of dietary fiber is that it promotes regular bowel movements and prevents constipation. Fiber helps to bulk up stool, making it easier to pass through the digestive system. This can help prevent digestive problems such as hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, and irritable bowel syndrome.
2. Helps Control Blood Sugar Levels: Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar in the bloodstream, which helps to prevent spikes in blood sugar levels. This can be particularly beneficial for people with diabetes, as it can help to regulate their blood sugar levels and reduce their risk of developing complications such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and blindness.
3. Reduces Cholesterol Levels: Soluble fiber found in foods such as oats, beans, and fruits can help to lower cholesterol levels. It does this by binding to cholesterol in the gut and preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. This can help to reduce the risk of heart disease, which is the leading cause of death worldwide.
4. Promotes Weight Loss: Fiber is very filling and can help to reduce appetite, which can make it easier to control calorie intake and promote weight loss. This is because fiber absorbs water in the gut, making you feel fuller for longer.
5. Boosts Immune System: Some studies have shown that dietary fiber can help to boost the immune system. This is because it feeds the good bacteria in the gut, which play a crucial role in maintaining good health.
Fiber can be found in a wide range of plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. It is recommended that adults consume between 25 and 35 grams of fiber per day. While it is possible to get enough fiber through diet alone, some people may benefit from taking a fiber supplement.
In conclusion, dietary fiber is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining good health. It can improve digestive health, control blood sugar levels, reduce cholesterol levels, promote weight loss, and boost the immune system. If you are not getting enough fiber through your diet, consider adding more fiber-rich foods to your meals or taking a fiber supplement. As always, it's important to talk to your doctor before starting any new supplements or making significant changes to your diet.
