Not really anything i just wanted to vent about rickrack

the fibre we dyed over the weekend is all dry and has been photographed! i feel pretty good about it—for a couple cripples who tire real fast, we got a lot done. this coming week we're back to tolerable temperatures, so i strongly suspect that we'll be dyeing more soon. we're not exactly hot-weather people, so having a nice big stash of stuff we can play with while we hide in the aircon is nice.

so what'd i dye?

my camera really struggled with that red one, but i think this is as good as it's getting. that lurid patch at the top doesn't exist in real life—overall, the closer you get to the middle, the more true to life it looks.

i think my favourite is the last one, the black-grey with splotches. if i'm right, it's going to spin up really nicely. (if i'm wrong, it'll spin up...interestingly! i'll learn something, probably.)

the tonal blue is more for blending than it is spinning straight—we had ~400g rambouillet and i think we're doing a bunch of tonals to play around with. (@binchickencrafts did a purple one when i did the blue.)

anyhow, the blue-grey is lonk, the blue is rambouillet, the red-orange is whitefaced woodland, and the multi is southdown, and i have about 200g of everything except the blue. (i know no one cares, but i have to write this down for me, otherwise i have no idea what i've dyed and have to try to reverse engineer it, and i hate doing that.)

pretty good weekend!

I am fully assuming that Link and Zelda will wed post-TOTK. What do you think the wedding outfits will be like? Traditional royal pomp, or something more suited to the adventurous couple that is close with the common people?

fun fact about me! i am one of those bitches who has had a wedding pinterest board since they were 10 years old and i also work for a wedding planner. so. not only have i already designed zelink wedding outfits but i also designed their engagement ring and i know exactly how the entire thing goes from proposal to reception. lmao

Okay I have acquired some glitter for screenprint paint. This is happening. I'm gonna have to open up pre-orders for these T-shirts due to the sheer amount of variance, but before I do, what do people think about these colors and style?

pls recommend a true beginners first crochet project

I really like washcloths because they're small and you can start with a single crochet stitch and work your way from there. Cotton yarn is pretty cheap too, though it isn't stretchy. If you're struggling too much with cotton, blanket squares are another option that can use any yarn.

This tutorial has good pictures.

What I did to learn each crochet stitch was use wikihow because each step is in gif form. Videos were too fast for me and still images didn't make sense. They have guides for everything from making a chain to more complicated ways of starting a project like Magic Loop.

Lichen is a natural way to create various colors for your textile and craft projects depending on the type you forage and how you process it. Beard, wolf & lungwort (usnea, letharia vulpina & lobaria pulmonaria) are great lichen to start with since they are often blown away from their host and more easily collected from the forest floor. This tutorial will show the boiling water method of making dye from each type of lichen, as well as the resulting color swatch samples (wool, silk, bamboo & cotton).

Posting this because I know some of us were wondering back then if this was supposed to be foreshadowing the release of two other colors.

This was shown at the Furby launch event at Vidcon.

could I wear a de-militarized gymnasterka or a kosovorotka (tucked in like a standard western button up, not like a tunic) as a summer shirt or is that pushing the boundaries of being east tennessee’s #1 slavophile

“Discover: Types of Loom in Textile Manufacturing”

Loom? What are They? What Do They Manufacture?

Looms is the weaving machine which converts the yarn into a fabric. There is no history of when looms were discovered but one thing is clear that it was before the birth of Jesus christ. There are 2 types of looms: Shuttle Looms and Shuttleless Looms. Below we are going to learn about various types of looms. The end result of this machine is fabric and wholesalers and retailers buy t-shirts in bulk made out of those fabric.

Learn About Shuttle Looms 

This is the most primitive loom in the history of loom. In this machine there is a shuttle which contains bobbins and around bobbins there are yarn wounded. In this weaving machine the shuttle travels from one corner to the other and hence the fabric is made. The speed of this machine is 110-225 ppm [Picks Per Minute]. It is quite noisy and inefficient. 

Fabric Weaving Without a Shuttle in the Loom Is It Possible?

Projectile Loom

Projectile loom is a shuttleless loom, in this looms instead of a shuttle projectile are there. Projectiles are made out of stainless steel and hence it was light weight. As the projectile lightweight this saves lots of energy and increases the efficiency of the machine. This loom speed was 300 ppm. The weaving takes place when the projectile goes across the width of the loom with the yarn. 

Rapier Loom

This loom is also shuttleless. In this loom the weft is carried by a rapier which is a long rod like structure. Many kinds of fabric could be made using this loom and it is highly efficient. The range of GSM things loom could weave is 20-850 GSM. From home fabric to industrial fabric can be made using this loom. There are 4 types of rapier loom in the market. 

Single Rigid Rapier Loom

Double Rigid Rapier Loom 

Double Flexible Rapier Loom

Telescopic Rapier Loom  

Air-Jet Loom 

In this loom the yarn is transferred from the force of air, it does not have any shuttle. This loom is highly efficient and versatile. This loom does not make noise because it does not have many moving parts. As the moving parts are less then the floor space requirement and maintenance is low. The weft travels with the help of air pressure and once it reaches the shedding area interlacement takes place. This machine can be used in manufacturing Denim fabric, polyester dress material and cotton shirting fabric. 

Water Jet Loom

Water pressure is used in this loom to transfer weft from one end to the other. It is a shuttleless loom machine. The speed of this machine is 600 ppm. This machine is highly efficient but we can use yarn which is hydrophobic, like polyester, polyamides etc. Hydrophilic yarn can not be used.
