fiber observations (knitting edition): peduncle silk

[plain text: fiber observations (knitting edition): peduncle silk]

peduncle silk from type of wild tussah silk worm. what typically think of as tussah silk, is from cocoon. but peduncle silk from stem part. n like stem, peduncle silk processed from it very stiff apparently because “glue” that bind it together.

it so called “rare fiber,” but not sure if it rare because actual few in number, or like. time consuming process for fiber that not very useful beyond niche fiber artist “ooo new thing let’s try.”

anyway. got some peduncle silk yarn some time ago to do exactly that “ooo new thing let’s try” thingie.

[id: hank of peduncle silk yarn that functionally described below. end id]

in real life it dark yellowish brown color that have these “inclusions” of lighter stuff that almost look like tweed. not sure if it just how yarn processed or how peduncle silk. it DK weight n each hank said have 200 yards. n have 5 hank of it, if careful, can make small adult sweater for me. it not my usual color by any means (pastel & bright rainbow), but again “ooo new thing let’s try,” & rarely wear/make anything other than sweater, so, sweater 👍

people (primarily spinners) online said it feel more like wool than silk, n think that pretty accurate—though me would say feel more like cotton than silk. am big avid cotton not-enjoyer, so don’t knit or spin with it to able compare actual properties, but avid not enjoyer mean can feel yarn n immediately tell it cotton/cotton majority. n. this feel more similar to cotton than wool. but mentally less barrier to it because “ooo new thing let’s try.”

it shipped to me damp n dried since then, but in hank form there still feeling of. like. damp. but it dry. but feel damp.

definitely not something would use regularly (or again after this project) though (tho same seller also had lace version so maybe will make shawl from it just for fart fun of it. don’t think will have very good drape bc stiff but funny rare experiment). harder get + only one color (natural/unbleached) + feel.

[id: two picture of same knitted rectangle from yarn. there centimeter ruler on it horizontal and vertical. there also US 6 bamboo needle near by. end id]

knit swatch with US 6 bamboo needle. pre wet blocking. cast on 20 st & it about 9.25 cm wide. knit about 19 st / 21 st if count cast on bind off (unconventional number but got lazy), n it about 7 cm long.

way yarn itself made is… think like 10 ply or something. anyway many lace singles loosely together into yarn. not enjoy that as much… come undone on needle.

it not very slippery, opposite of slippery, so may move to metal needles when do real thing n see. as someone who primarily knit wool & never knit cotton, this yarn idea of what “wool-y cotton” think would feel like to me. if make any sense. but not wool.

immediately after wash, still wet:

[id: first picture hold knitted rectangle in hand against light wood background. next two picture measure rectangle with ruler again. knitted rectangle not look much different. end id]

basically, not much different. with some stretch n shape n put back together, width grew a little to 10 cm, but length not change. not sure why didn’t expect it (prob because last project superwash merino…), but make sense, because stiff.

keep forget this animal/protein fiber not plant fiber.

when wet, have smell. like wet wool have wet sheep smell, this have… wet peduncle silk smell? what associate with damp corners. oh and WET DIRT. really smell like wet dirt.

n. stiffness no joke

[id: first picture of rectangle scrunched up & remaining it shape. second picture of it be stretched very long length wise n remain shape. end id]

like scrunch it up n put it on table not so carefully n take time for photo, still very remain shape, no sign of move. same for pull stretch really out n still mostly stay there.

second picture visually remind me of superwash merino. except in reality opposite of it—superwash merino feel floppy. uncontrollable growth. once it stretch you need accept fate. (until say fuck you n throwing dryer for few minutes that is). this more… stiff n rigid. you need be one to stretch it. n then put it back in shape n it measurement not change much at all.

anyway. it still wet on table. gonna see if any different when dry, but doubt any. hard imagine what it like to wear it with just swatch (wet swatch at that), but would imagine it not spiky but more heavy. curious about warmth. it look quite thick for dk but measured n indeed dk.

thinking about knit field sweater on ravelry (feel like right vibe for color). scared about it bc people say pattern poorly written/translated. but there lots notes online so hoping go okay.

[op nonverbal autistic with communication impairment disability. do not comment about how talk. still english not need “translate.” do not rephrase into “proper” english without ask.]

[ladytemeraire]

While I'm on the topic of discussing knitwear and knitting patterns: I really wish designers would put some extra thought into the yarn choices/ recommendations for their patterns beyond "this is pretty".

Like, I know mohair is having a moment right now so everyone is using mohair in their patterns, and that's great for cozy cold weather sweaters; but if your pattern is for a floaty lightweight cottagecore-esque top for summer, maybe don't pick a mohair/silk blend? That's great for warmth, but it sounds like an absolute nightmare for hot months.

Similarly, a designer I really love just put out a pattern for a flowy drapey summer tee, and while I'm absolutely going to make it at some point, I'm absolutely not going to use the wool/silk/yak yarn they recommend, because I don't feel like breaking my budget or getting heat stroke. Instead I plan to use a wool/cotton blend; that will keep the springiness and structure of wool so it doesn't stretch all out of shape, but the cotton will provide drape and also allow the fabric to breathe. (Yak and silk are both fabulous for drape but tend to retain heat better than plant fibers.)

At this point I personally have the experience to know how to swap or substitute yarns to get the results I want, but it still leaves me scratching my head and wondering what the thought process is and also feeling bad for less experienced knitters who aren't able to do the same.

Guilty Pleasures (Part 2)

More secret/wholesome hobbies for my giant lovely robots!

Starscream

Starscream is a bundle of pent up everything with paranoia serving as the cherry on top, and so to deal with it he picked up several small wholesome hobbies over the course of the war.

He tried writing for a while, (he still has a stash of his old works somewhere) he did painting as well, (his art is still on display in his berthroom) and he even committed to sculpting for a while (his rather vivid depictions of Megatron in various states of defeat are proudly displayed on a shelf)

However his most recent hobby is one he acquired from earth.

Currently he handles his pent up emotions through knitting, something he picked up after he found out that a determined knitter can make just about anything.

Inspired, he took up the craft and uses his sharp talon like digits to knit while he has nothing better to do.

When he can, he will requisition a Vehicon or two to hold his yarn balls and follow him around so that he can pace and knit at the same time.

But due to how often Starscream needs to vent out his frustrations via knitting he developed quite a large pile of finished accessories.

And so to make way for even better works of 'art' Starscream gives his little creations away to others on board the nemesis, and sometimes those not of Decepticon allegiance.

Knockout has found himself with several well knit neon pink sweaters that he hates with a passion not only because the color clashes with his armor but also because they all have some iteration of 'Slagger' on the back.

Breakdown has been given a few rainbow colored beanies that he isn't quite sure what to do with, and Soundwave has acquired a handful of knitted stuffed animals with various angry expressions.

All the Vehicons have little mittens or scarfs of various colors and Shockwave has begrudgingly accepted an eye mask with a rather disturbing optic knitted on the front.

Not even the Autobots are safe from Starscream's passive aggressive knitted works.

Optimus has five quilts as large as he is tall depicting Starscream perched upon a throne with both Optimus and Megatron at his pedes, usually 'All Hail Starscream' is present somewhere as well.

And Ratchet has two dozen rugs that seem to be a series of sorts as each has 'Frag Megatron' kitted in a different language.

No one is quite sure how to react to it.

Arcee

Despite her sarcastic, stoic, and blunt behavior, Arcee has an incredibly wholesome hobby, the hobby in question being gardening.

What she did on Cybertron wasn't really gardening by earth standards.

Before the war and even during its early years she kept and incredibly well maintained crystal garden to which she devoted enormous amounts of time to.

She had a whole room filled with towering spires of glowing crystals which had been carefully directed to grow in splendid archways and branching designs over vorns.

Each crystal had a date carefully carved into its base and was skillfully attuned to her own spark signature, helping them to grow and offering her a deep sense of peace when in her garden.

It helped ease a great deal of the stress she accumulated throughout the early years leading up to the war.

However her garden was ruthlessly destroyed after her residence was bombed.

She tried keeping a few small potted crystals which she managed to salvage from her old garden but it was mostly a lost cause with how often she was required to change bases and locations to fight.

She still kept a few of the shards with her though when she travelled to earth, more as a sentimental item than anything else.

When she arrived to earth she was introduced to the human concept of gardening.

Organic things were not an unknown concept to her, but caring for plants is far different than caring for crystals.

She ultimately decided to give earth gardening a shot and has so far grown to be just as frustrated with the process as Ratchet is with human baking.

Why do plants need so much water? But then if they get the water they die? And they need sun, so much sun, but not too much sun or they also die? They also need to be pruned like crystals but they grow so quickly that it is nearly impossible to contain them?

Not only that but they just sometimes randomly die? For no reason?!?

Poor Arcee is trying and has succeeded to a degree. She, after devoting a great deal of time to research and through much trial and error has cultivated a small garden of succulents.

She prefers succulents above other plants because they are the most similar in requirements to crystals.

She has even given her most prized plants names. And it is these named plants that she loves above all others.

As such, the death of Jerry due to Bulkhead and Wheeljack's careless game of lob ball has earned them several well deserved smacks and more than one chilling glare when they get too close to her other plants.

R.I.P Jerry.

Breakdown

For such a big strong bot, Breakdown's hobby is remarkably tame.

When he isn't working or buffing Knockout's armor, Breakdown enjoys making candles, preferably scented ones.

It is not that he is particularly fond of fire or the messy substance that is wax, he just likes how lovely the flame, melting wax, and scent of the candle are when all combined together.

He only really started making candles after coming to earth and loving the dramatic effect candles gave to whatever place they were lit in.

He quickly got invested in the burning glow sticks and began making some killer candles of his own after a great deal of research.

Of course his early candle making days were not without their fare share of failures.

It took weeks to clean up the waxy mess that came from Breakdown's attempt to make one giant super candle.

Megatron was less than pleased.

But everyone else on the nemesis actually really appreciates Breakdown's hobby because it gives the nemesis a nice vibe.

The Vehicons really like the random candles spread around the ship and will take extra care to keep them lit and even take a long sniff if no officers are present.

The Vehicons love the candles so much that a group have come together and created a little club with Breakdown where they all just make candles together.

It's wholesome, sweet, and the end result is lovely.

The sections of the nemesis where few officers go are filled with candles of various shades and colors, usually scented in lavender as it is the Vehicons favorite.

Breakdown thinks it is the sweetest thing seeing the Vehicons so appreciative of his work.

Most of his gifted candles go to them, but a few end up with Knockout and Soundwave who use them to add a little spice to the atmosphere of their workspaces.

Bulkhead

Largely due to Miko's influence, Bulkhead has gotten himself a tin cap and become a conspiracy theorist after coming to earth.

Much like Optimus with his hobby, Bulkhead's fixation wasn't really intentional, he just found the theories on the internet infinitely fascinating.

After all, who would have thought that the moon landing might be fake? Sure there is a ton of evidence to disprove it but still!

And an organization controlling the entire world? Not completely impossible. The Autobots had a similar thing going on before the war too.

And what is this about a giant furry ape like creature wandering through the deep woods? Who knows? Bulkhead is an alien robot from space, anything is possible!

Bulkhead has a whole bulletin board that he keeps near the main part of base, completely unconcerned with what the others think of his fixation.

The thing is positively covered in clippings and photos all connected by obnoxious red string.

There are at least ten running theories on his board at all times, most of which the team tolerates but doesn't believe and Ratchet hates with a passion due to the ridiculousness of them.

However there have been moments where Bulkhead has managed to catch the entire teams attention with one of his more logical theories.

On multiple occasions the team, having been convinced by Bulkhead, have gone hunting for any and all data on a theory just to put their minds at ease.

Optimus once spent three restless nights franticly searching the internet and questioning agent Fowler to figure out if the Abominable Snowman was a real thing or not.

The poor Prime was left with his questions largely unanswered, much to his own discomfort and slight horror.

Wheeljack wasn't left much better off, having been roped into watching hours of conspiracy theory videos with Bulkhead on several occasions.

In the end he spent several days paranoid as Pit, refusing to remove his tin cap for fear of alien intrusion. (Why are you afraid of Aliens Wheeljack!? You are the Alien!)

Miko knows what monster she created by introducing Bulkhead to conspiracies and she is proud.

Shockwave

Shockwave doesn't really have a hobby.

All he does is research, which could arguably be a hobby if one were to look at it as such.

When he isn't working on his research the closest thing Shockwave does that could be considered a hobby is study the organisms of earth... for science purposes of course.

Does he need to know how much a blue whale weights? Probably not but you never know.

Does he really need to know the exact migrating habits of water buffalo? Also probably not.

Does he learn the random earth facts anyway? Absolutely.

He finds BBC documentaries fascinating and will watch them on loop for extended amounts of time while waiting for his experiments to show any changes.

He even has a dataslate where he takes notes on earth animal facts because it could perhaps be useful one day. (its definably not because he likes learning about animals, no, what gave you that idea?)

He usually keeps the fact that he knows all the random earth animal facts a secret but occasionally it slips out when someone starts giving out incorrect data about the earth organisms.

More than once Shockwave has unintentionally gone on a monotone rant about earth animals when someone like Starscream or Knockout starts throwing around data that is obviously wrong.

Little does he know they are mostly just being drama queens.

It still scares them a bit though when Shockwave goes into his little fact trances and more often than not those on the nemesis have learned to avoid talking about earth animals for fear of having to endure Shockwave's emotionless gaze as he corrects them in detail.

Smokescreen

Oh boy, Smokescreen has a rather interesting hobby.

Besides idolizing Optimus and geeking out over the fact that 'ohmygoodnessitsOptimusPrimeandI'mherewithhim!!!' Smokescreen has one other interest.

While he does play video games and race, his true passion lies in the rather niche subject of beetle fights.

He thinks watching the small creatures fight is just fascinating.

As such he collected a few of his own with the help of the children and has painstakingly created a whole mini arena for his beetles to fight in.

After a great deal of preparation the beetle matches begin in earnest.

The children place bets and Raf serves as the narrator for the matches, going above and beyond by creating intricate histories and stories for all the gladiator beetles.

Miko throws confetti when one of the beetles wins and Jack brings out a royal red pillow and high quality beetle food for the victor.

The whole thing is incredibly dramatic and often ends with the victorious beetle being paraded around like some sort of war hero.

No bot really understands Smokescreen's beetle fights, not even Bumblebee... that is until Wheeljack rolls round and sees the epic set up.

Smokescreen and Wheeljack immediately get along like a house on fire and ramp the beetle fights up to a new level of dramatic.

Together they devise and craft armor for the beetles and even genetically modify a few to make the battles even cooler.

They even devise traps for the battle field to add some tension to the conflict.

Of course spotlights and cameras are set up eventually and everything is recorded and documented in great detail.

Team Prime doesn't get it and Optimus is once again left slightly disturbed by the whole thing but opts to not question it.

Occasionally though the team will drop bets on particularly interesting combatants in the beetle arena, usually when there is nothing better to do.

On those days the battles are rigged so that Wheeljack and Smokescreen can revel in their ill gotten gains, throwing around the fake money that everyone bets with like they just won the lottery.

Aight I know this ain't everyone but I will create a third and final Guilty pleasures post to get the poor bots I missed in this post. Thank you for taking the time to look at my little headcannons.

The Versatility and Elegance of Linen Yarn

Linen yarn, derived from the flax plant, is a timeless material known for its durability, breathability, and natural beauty. This Micro- blog explores the unique qualities of linen yarn, its benefits, and its various applications.

What is Linen Yarn?

Linen yarn is spun from the fibers of the flax plant, making it one of the oldest textiles in human history. Its production involves a meticulous process of harvesting, retting, and spinning, resulting in a yarn that is both strong and smooth. Linen yarn is celebrated for its natural luster and crisp texture, which only improves with age and use.

Benefits of Linen Yarn

Durability: Linen yarn is incredibly strong, making it ideal for items that require longevity. Unlike other fibers, linen becomes softer and more pliable with each wash, enhancing its comfort over time.

Breathability: One of the standout features of linen yarn is its breathability. It allows air to circulate freely, making it perfect for summer garments and accessories. This quality also helps in regulating body temperature, keeping you cool in hot weather.

Moisture-Wicking: Linen yarn has excellent moisture-wicking properties. It can absorb a significant amount of moisture without feeling damp, making it suitable for towels, dishcloths, and other household items.

Eco-Friendly: Linen is a sustainable choice. The flax plant requires minimal water and pesticides, and every part of the plant can be used, resulting in zero waste.

Applications of Linen Yarn

Linen yarn’s versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of projects:

Clothing: Linen yarn is perfect for knitting and crocheting summer tops, dresses, and lightweight sweaters. Its breathability and moisture-wicking properties ensure comfort in warm weather.

Home Textiles: From table runners to curtains, linen yarn adds a touch of elegance to home decor. Its durability ensures that these items will last for years.

Accessories: Scarves, hats, and bags made from linen yarn are not only stylish but also practical. They are lightweight, breathable, and easy to care for.

Craft Projects: Linen yarn is also popular in various craft projects, including weaving and embroidery. Its natural sheen and texture add a unique dimension to handmade items.

Caring for Linen Yarn

Taking care of linen yarn is straightforward. It can be machine washed on a gentle cycle and should be laid flat to dry to maintain its shape and texture. Over time, linen yarn becomes softer and more comfortable, making it a joy to work with and wear.

What is the Difference Between Hemp and Linen Yarn?

While both hemp and linen yarns are derived from plant fibers and share some similarities, they have distinct differences:

Source: Linen yarn comes from the flax plant, whereas hemp yarn is derived from the hemp plant.

Texture: Linen yarn is known for its smooth and crisp texture, while hemp yarn tends to be coarser and more rugged.

Strength: Both yarns are strong, but hemp is often considered more durable and resistant to wear and tear.

Environmental Impact: Both plants are eco-friendly, but hemp grows faster and requires fewer resources, making it slightly more sustainable.

Conclusion

Linen yarn is a remarkable material that combines beauty, functionality, and sustainability. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a beginner, incorporating linen yarn into your projects can elevate your creations with its unique qualities. Explore the wide range of linen yarn options available at Silk City Fibers and discover the endless possibilities this versatile yarn has to offer.

What is Cotton yarn?

Cotton yarn is a type of yarn made from the fibres of the cotton plant. It is widely used in the textile industry due to its versatility, comfort, and breathability. Here are some key points about cotton yarn:

Cotton yarn Production Process:

Harvesting: Cotton fibers are harvested from the cotton plant's seed bolls.

Ginning: The harvested cotton is then processed in a cotton gin to separate the fibers from the seeds.

Spinning: The cleaned fibers are spun into yarn through various methods, such as ring spinning, open-end spinning, or air-jet spinning.

Cotton yarn Properties:

Softness: Cotton yarn is soft and gentle on the skin, making it ideal for clothing and textiles that come into direct contact with the body.

Breathability: Cotton fibers allow air to pass through, providing good ventilation and reducing heat and moisture buildup.

Absorbency: Cotton yarn is highly absorbent, which makes it suitable for towels, bathrobes, and other products that need to absorb moisture.

Durability: While not as strong as some synthetic fibers, cotton yarn has good durability and can withstand regular wear and washing.

Hypoallergenic: Cotton is less likely to cause allergic reactions, making it a good choice for people with sensitive skin.

Cotton yarn Uses:

Clothing: Cotton yarn is commonly used to make a wide range of garments, including t-shirts, jeans, underwear, and dresses.

Home Textiles: It is also used in home furnishings like bed linens, towels, and curtains.

Crafts and Knitting: Cotton yarn is popular among crafters and knitters for projects like sweaters, scarves, and blankets due to its ease of use and wide range of available colors and textures.

Cotton yarn Types:

Combed Cotton: This is a higher-quality cotton yarn that has been combed to remove shorter fibers, resulting in a smoother, stronger, and more lustrous yarn.

Carded Cotton: This is less processed than combed cotton, containing more short fibers and impurities, and is typically used in less expensive or rougher fabrics.

Mercerized Cotton: This type of cotton yarn has been treated with a caustic soda solution to increase its luster, strength, and affinity for dye.

Cotton yarn's natural origin and favourable properties make it a staple material in the textile industry, valued for its comfort, versatility, and overall performance in various applications.

The Yarn Bazaar

The Yarn Bazaar is an innovative platform revolutionizing the textile industry by addressing inefficiencies in the supply chain. Founded in 2019 by Pratik Gadia, the company aims to organize the highly fragmented textile market, offering a transparent and efficient B2B marketplace for yarn buyers and sellers.

From synthetic sweaters to stretch-fit sportswear, the fossil-based components found in the clothes we wear present an ecological nightmare for the planet and for our consciences. By developing new, renewable, wood and plant-based fibres to replace the petroleum-based ones, scientists are setting a new trend for the world of fashion. It’s no secret: fashion has a sustainability problem. In today’s culture of one-click purchases, short-term wear, and subsequent disposal in landfills, the damaging impact of fast fashion is undeniable. While circular economy solutions such as clothing rental, deposit and reuse schemes are gaining traction, it's crucial that we recognise their limitations.So many of our everyday items of clothing contain artificial components such as polyester and nylon, which come from non-renewable, fossil-based sources like petroleum. Even traditional fibres like virgin cotton have an embarrassingly large carbon footprint due to the ways they are grown, harvested, and processed.

Biofibre: Turning food waste into fashion

One of the most promising areas of research into the future of fashion comes from existing agricultural waste. The ability to replace fossil-based fibres with natural, renewable ones is already a positive step forward, but to create them out of food crops that would ordinarily be left to rot in a field? Even better.

Agraloop, a textile innovations arm from US-based start-up Circular Systems, is working to turn this idea into a mainstream reality using the left-overs from food and medicine crops, including pineapples, bananas, oilseed and CBD hemp. Using a special wet processing technique, they extract the cellulose fibres from plant stems and leaves, which are then purified into “soft fibre” bundles, ready to spin into fabric yarn.

According to the company their process uses 100 per cent less water than traditional cotton manufacturing and 53 per cent less CO2 than traditional hemp. The result is a versatile product that can be seamlessly swapped in for traditional fossil-based fibres such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Circular Systems is already working with major international clothing manufacturers for brands including H&M and &OtherStories

Fibres

i have an aversion to manmade fibres. i don't like them. i recognise there are times when they are useful (and cheap lol) but mostly i recommend using natural fibres, like wool, cotton and cashmere. some of these are animal fibres so if you have made the decision to not use those, have a google. some are plant fibres.

polymer blends are acceptable sometimes but they are on thin ice. I am now going to explain in a haphazard way what different fibres are and what you use them for. this is very individualistic and there aren't really any rules. it is more like general convention, do whatever u want. knit with strips of binbags idc

will b edited later as i am only sometimes omniscient

wool:

great for warmth.

most wool now is processed, but if you can get the stuff or you spin the stuff with more lanolin (sheep grease) then it will be more waterproof.

this is good for jumpers, sweaters, cardigans. depending on the feel of the wool and the length of the fibre you will use it for different things. if it is itchy as hell you will not want to make a skin-tight jumper.

wool fibres act like little hooks to hook on to each other. this makes a close fabric. this is especially good for creating a pattern with different colours, as the gaps between different yarns will close more easily and seamlessly.

has a bit of stretch to it

washing - you can put this in the washing machine on a wool wash (or a cold or hand wash cycle). depending on what you have done, you might want to hand wash it (e.g. something very chunky). don't put it in the drier.

cotton:

cotton is lightweight. breathable. it is not very warm and tends to be more drapey than wool. it isn't waterproof and takes ages to dry.

if you are making big thick socks or layers close to your body for something like a hiking trip where you expect to be sitting in it wet for a while, don't use cotton.

cotton is great for a dress or similar. my mum made a few ties out of it.

it is not stretchy like wool. very nice for summer projects and layers.

can go in the washing machine!!! however depending on what you've created you might not want it to lol

cashmere:

fucking expensive

soft and usually very fine weight. keeps you warm.

often you will find cashmere in a blend. this is nice. often people will use this in thin, tight clothing.

has some stretch to it.

depends on quality (short cashmere is not as good as long cashmere but it is nice and soft and fluffy)

cashmere is sometimes a pain to wash (cold wash, ideally by hand. do not put it in the drier)

mohair:

very fine and VERY fluffy (also itchy depending)

there is a big trend right now (2023) for knitting loose jumpers out of thin light-weight mohair on huge needles. i think that's quite cute.

easily combined with another fibre to make something more dense but with extra fluff.

hard to wash (cold handwash usually and shouldn't go in the drier)

acrylic (or other plastic fibre):

this shit will not burn it will MELT

acrylic does not last (but it will stick around in landfill for years!). it can be itchy. it is not breathable so you will feel sweaty in a big jumper or socks made of the stuff.

because it is not breathable (does not really wick away moisture) it can also be stinky, so making something out of this stuff for an area that gathers sweat may not be ideal

my mum calls this stuff horrible plastic rubbish and ykw i agree but it has its place because it is CHEAP and DRIES.

i use it for waste yarn when i machine knit

does wash easily tho

dries very quickly

ideal for things that are going to get wet, like hiking socks and swimwear

Bamboo Yarn: The Sustainable and Versatile Choice for Your Next Knitting Project

Bamboo yarn is a natural and eco-friendly fiber that is rapidly gaining popularity in the knitting world. This yarn is made from the pulp of bamboo grass and has a soft, silky texture that is perfect for creating luxurious and comfortable garments. In this article, we will explore the benefits of bamboo yarn and why it is an excellent choice for your next knitting project. To know more information about what is bamboo yarn good for

Sustainability

Bamboo yarn is considered an eco-friendly choice for several reasons. First, bamboo grass grows quickly and requires little water or pesticides to thrive, making it a sustainable and renewable resource. Additionally, bamboo plants release more oxygen into the atmosphere than trees, making them a great choice for reducing carbon emissions. Finally, the manufacturing process for bamboo yarn involves fewer chemicals and produces less waste than traditional cotton or synthetic yarns.

Softness and Comfort

Bamboo yarn has a soft, silky texture that is gentle on the skin, making it an excellent choice for creating garments such as baby clothes, scarves, and shawls. The yarn is also lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for warm-weather garments like tank tops and summer dresses. Additionally, bamboo yarn has a natural sheen that gives finished products a luxurious look and feel.

Durability

Despite its softness, bamboo yarn is surprisingly durable and can withstand multiple washes without losing its shape or texture. This means that garments made from bamboo yarn can last for many years with proper care, making it a great investment for knitters who want to create long-lasting pieces.

Versatility

Bamboo yarn is incredibly versatile and can be used for a variety of knitting projects. Its softness and drape make it perfect for creating delicate lacework or intricate cable patterns, while its durability and lightweight nature make it a great choice for larger, more substantial projects like sweaters and blankets.

In conclusion, bamboo yarn is an excellent choice for knitters who want to create sustainable, comfortable, and versatile garments. Its softness, durability, and natural sheen make it a popular choice for a wide range of projects, from delicate lacework to cozy blankets. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, bamboo yarn is definitely worth considering for your next project.

Surrounded by the Moon and Stars ✷ 33

Pairings: Sirius B, F!Reader, Remus L   Warnings: Swearing, unhealthy defence mechanisms

【 Masterlist | Previous Chapter | Playlist 】

Chapter 33: Betray The Moon as Acolyte

━━━━━━━━━༻☽༺━━━━━━━━━

September 8th, 1976

Remus peered up to the night sky, resplendent with a coruscating kaleidoscope of stars and the full moon. He yawned, acutely aware of his bones shifting, aching and cracking. Resting on a small cot pressed against the wall in the corner of the shrieking shack, Remus felt his temperature rise and skin stretch too thinly across his body.

“I’ll be back once the sun rises, dearie,” Madam Pomfrey called out, the door millimetres from locking shut.

“Wait,” he said and Madam Pomfrey re-opened the door with a warm, motherly smile.

“Yes?”

“Thank you. For always helping, I know it can be… tiresome.”

How long has it been? That Pomfrey had been helping him out, every full moon — had known of his affliction and been there to assist? It was years now, countless hours of her time wasted on him.

Was he that much of a burden? The thought left a bitter taste in his mouth, that made his face pucker and heart lacerate itself in fresh wounds.

“Don’t concern yourself with me, honey.” Then the door clicked shut and he heard her utter a spell; to confine the beast within the four walls.

The tormenting plague increased every minute as the countdown to his transformation loomed. His heart thudded stridently and his breathing was ragged and strained. His teeth grinded against each other and his tongue swept across them, feeling them elongate and reshape in preparation.

Remus grabbed the hem of his jumper, exasperated by the overwhelming heat and because he didn’t want to shred it in the process. As he slipped out, feeling the adored red fabric, tattered with holes and frayed yarn in his hands, the door opened and he could already smell Peter and James. Subconsciously, he shielded his body from them, to avoid them from seeing all of his scars.

Remus became dizzy instantly. James wore a particularly strong perfume that day.

More than anything, over the pain and hint of repugnance, he was nervous. It would be the first full moon since… the prank that the Marauders would be together for his transformations. Or all the Marauders aside from one and nobody wanted to address it.

A sharp pain thundered through his skull and he knew time was slipping from him. Remus couldn’t recall the last time the moments before his transformation were that painful.

“You okay, Moons?” Wormtail asked, dropping down beside him. Prongs followed in suit, taking his sweater and folding it neatly.

“I’m fine — umph —”

“Shit! Prongs, get back and turn. Now!”

━━━━━━━━━༻☽༺━━━━━━━━━

After a week of lessons, there were considerable adjustments to the curriculum. Everyone noticed and it quickly dispersed a sombre milieu on all of Hogwarts.

Classes were smaller, many parents deciding to transfer their children to other magical schools around the world. Y/N even received a few worried letters from Matthew that there was an abundance of new British students attending Ilvermorny.

In his worried letters, Matthew informed her that the MACUSA and French Ministry of Magic had been stepping in, fighting forces against the wizarding war. It was all news to her. Ever since James’ parents cancelled their subscription to the Daily Prophet after their beliefs that they were biased, she hadn’t been able to catch up.

More defence and attack spells were taught and everyone became well aware of why someone of Professor Elway’s reputation and skill was there. The same went for the Duelling re-opening and even Flitwick initiated small tutorial sessions for students of all grades to teach them defensive spells.

Defence Against the Dark Arts became nothing more than a Muggle military camp. Elway drilled the students; attack and defence spell after the other, never stopping for a second. Transfigurations focused more on concealment and vanishing charm and every day McGonagall looked as if she aged a decade by the solemn, haunted look that nowadays was permanently carved into her.

Herbology went over a vast majority of life-saving plants, herbs and how to make their own medicine. And Potions heavily focused on identifying spiked potions with poisons and how to create reversal serums in case of emergencies.

The students of Hogwarts weren’t brainless. They knew they were training them for war.

She tried to ignore it, but if anything Y/N felt foolish. The magical world was meant to be an escape, not a guardhouse.

It didn’t help that the murders from the summer played heavily in her mind along with the rumours of Voldemort recruiting students from Hogwarts, prompting a spike of distrust to spread rampantly. It wasn’t time to fight or lose people but to keep those you trusted and loved close. So Lily keeping her distance had her worried.

Sorted into the same dorm as last year, she reckoned she would have some time with Lily but every day it seemed like she was busy with prefect duties, or had homework, or reading, or a new study group she needed to rush off to. She and Lily hadn’t resumed their usual nightly routines either, hadn’t sat with her in the Great Hall since the welcome back feast and hadn’t said more than a word to her.

It was evident that Lily was avoiding her and only her.

Maybe Y/N had gotten clingy, got too close too hastily because it felt too similar to how her mother treated her. It caused the imminent, spine-chilling feeling of wanting to push everyone away.

Extreme distress was starting to pile up.

Luckily, James stayed a constant consistency in her life and a lot of her pent-up fears dissipated by his presence. He never ignored her, if anything he went out of his way to be nearer. Even Peter and most notably, Remus, had become part of her daily life more than ever.

It was terrifying and everything told her to run. Don’t get too close, don’t get too comfortable. But it was hard not to.

That morning, James crept up to her dorm, knocking softly as she popped out, ready for the day. He looked exhausted; his eye bags were prominent, darkened and cradled in his arm, he held Remus’ rabbit.

“To keep him company,” James explained, yawning while escorting her down the staircase, passing the rabbit over. “It was a rough night.”

It would be the first time they would try to incorporate Y/N into replacing Black and balance out James’ other priorities with Remus’ moon cycles. And unable to reschedule Quidditch try-outs to another morning and James forced to leave prematurely, she would have to step in.

But her fears skyrocketed. Were they pushing it? She was only visiting him… It wasn’t out of pity and she genuinely wanted to be there to support Remus.

“What if he doesn’t want visitors?”

James rolled his eyes. “It will be fine. He’ll appreciate it more than he’ll let on.”

But then a faint floral and citrus smell flowed through the distilled air as she took a deep breath.

“James, you smell really good... Are you wearing perfume?”

His frown transformed into a prideful simper. “Bought the same perfume as my mum. Helps when I miss her.”

She gasped. “A mama’s boy!” And then pinched his cheek.

About to step out of the portrait, James must’ve accidentally activated a prank because the moment his hand brushed against the portrait, four Muggle stereos floated above his head, blasting break-up songs on the highest volume. It rattled the walls and made their ears bleed.

“Fucking hell!” James shouted, his wand swishing around to stop the music while Y/N stuffed Remus’ rabbit inside her bag and bewitched a silencing spell around it.

“Students are sleeping!” Lily shrieked, rushing down the stairs and charmed away the stereos.

“Oi! You think we don’t know?” James retorted, a hand clutching his ear. “Emmeline…”

“Emmeline?” Lily repeated, shaking her head. “May Merlin himself save the poor girl daft enough to end up with you.”

The only enlightened that took away from the war and recent murders was Emmeline and her friends pranking and wreaking havoc like the Marauders onto James as a punishment.

He deserved it and even James agreed.

“Where are you two headed?” Lily inquired and for the first time since the train ride, she addressed Y/N head-on.

A glimmer of hope.

“Aw, finally starting to care about me, Evans?” James joked although it’s laced with uncertainty.

Y/N cut off Lily before she had the chance to speak, eager to answer her question. “It’s Remus.”

Recognition filtered through her, gaze shooting up to the large grandfather clock beside the bookshelves. Lily’s head bobbed repeatedly, pressing her lips together sympathetically. She considered James for a moment.

“Will you be back in time for lessons?” Lily then whipped her hands around. “Y’know what, forget it. I’ll take notes for… both of you.”

Y/N felt James nudge her foot, simultaneously forcing out a cough. His hand went to scratch behind his neck. “R-right. Erm, I — we appreciate it, Evans, but ugh — we have a free period this morning.”

Lily’s jaw dropped. “Oh. Sorry.”

“NO!” James said a little too loud. “I mean, no. It’s fine. Thank you.”

Y/N pursed her lips, her neck bending as her shoulders tensed while watching their interaction play out. “Alrighty, we should go. Thank you, Petals.” She interjected. Her hands spun James around as they walked out of the common room and to the hospital wing.

Both students groaned out loudly. Black was there, sitting on the ground and back pressed against the wall to the wing.

“He doesn’t want to see you,” James challenged. His feet pivoted to Black, before her hands pressed against his chest, preventing him from touching Black and starting yet another fight. “Leave it.”

His eyes flickered from her to Black. Sighing, he made a slight rearward movement and removed his glasses to rub his eyes.

“Just don’t follow us.”

They walked inside without sparing him another glance.

“Here comes the fucking sun, Moons!” James chirped, his mood altering drastically. But she staggered behind a beat.

Remus was already awake, quietly chatting to Peter. His bed curtains were half drawn and she took his rabbit from her bag, pulling it close to her chest.

His head snapped in their direction, but instead of his eyes landing on James, it went squarely to her. She smiled, eyes analyzing every ripple of expression. He didn’t seem angry. No, not at all, but stunned.

Once James realized she wasn’t by his side anymore, he turned and looped an arm over her shoulder. He whispered, “Moony won’t bite. It’s okay.”

“I wasn’t expecting you.” Remus finally said, smiling.

“Of course I’d come.” Confidence now circulated her body as she approached him, handing over his rabbit. James was delighted at his response while the rabbit nuzzled its way into the crook of Remus’ neck, tickling him. She murmured into his ear, not wanting to peer pressure him by others' wants, “You don’t mind me being here, do you? I’ll leave, no hurt feelings.”

Remus shook his head, petting his rabbit. “No, please stay.” He croaked, voice deep and tired.

“Oi!” James said, albeit quietly.

“Flirt somewhere else,” Peter added with false annoyance.

James nodded. “So, little Moony —”

“Little Moony?” Remus groaned. “What?”

“Aw,” she teased, “Is moody Moony making an appearance?”

“Did you come just to make fun of me?”

But then Peter grinned cheekily, moving to softly slap his hand down on his thigh in the same tempo as Here Comes the Sun. Y/N and James immediately caught on, ready to chagrin while Remus shook his hands in front of his face to get them to stop.

“Don’t you —“

“Here comes the sun, moody Moony —“ “Crikey.”

“Here comes the sun, and we say it’s alright!” They sang, keeping their voices to a minimum to not worsen his potential headache. They had to hold back their laughter as Peter began to replicate the horrible instrumental with his voice. James sang the loudest. “Little Moony, it’s been a long cold moon cycle.”

Madam Pomfrey poked her head from her office, ready to tell the visitors to be quieter than a mouse — or kick them out in favour of Remus’ rest but she froze. Remus was poorly attempting to cover his smile, his cheeks burning a bright red and she hadn’t seen him that happy after full moons. And after what happened last year, his happiness was all she wanted. So she sat back down, smiling to herself at the horrid sing.

“Little Moony, the smiles returning to the faces —”

“Guys!”

“Little Moony, it feels like years since it’s been here.”

━━━━━━━━━༻☽༺━━━━━━━━━

James eventually left, rushing to tryouts with Marlene with a great deal of apprehension. When the bell rang, students rushing down for breakfast, both Y/N and Peter departed momentarily to the Great Hall, grabbing a few snacks and tea Remus requested.

But the moment Peter stepped foot outside the hospital wing, it was as if any sort of energy left his body. He became sluggish, moving slowly and yawned multiple times.

“Pete, go back to him, I’ll get everything,” she implored. “Or get some rest. I can’t imagine staying up all night can be good.”

“It’s —” A yawn. “— Sorry. I’ll be fine.”

She didn’t push. They made their way around fast and exited quickly before a group of seventh and sixth years swarmed Peter. A few even greeted her, attempting to strike a conversation.

Peter sent her a dejected look, passing her the rest of the snacks and teacup.

“I’ll meet you there.”

She rushed back in record time. Black was still sitting outside the wing and she could faintly hear him muttering her name but she disregarded him wholly.

But the sight inside the hospital made her heart shatter.

Remus was haggard, dishevelled and face screwed together in pain. He tried to push himself up multiple times to reach behind his head, to his pillow. But it was futile.

The crinkling of the wrapper in her hand made her wince; it became the loudest object in the world at that moment. It forewarned Remus and she gently padded over. She sat down gently on the edge of his bed, setting down everything on the metal tray.

“Don’t push yourself — here, let me.” Remus visibly reclined into himself, covering his scarred arms with the blanket coiled by his side. But he listened without complaints as she reached behind his head, fluffing his pillow and helped him lay back down gently. “Not feeling too good?”

“Like shit.”

It became awkward fast.

“Um… Peter’s coming. Was held up with a couple of seventh years.” “You can leave if you don’t want to be here,” Remus blurted out, “I won't force you —”

“Woah there!” She felt as if she was slapped by him. The sudden change had her wheeling. “Who said you’re forcing me? You’re my Moony, no?”

He breathed out a chuckle and shifted towards her. She glanced at the tray with a few potions. What he said stuck to her.

“Do you mind if you can pour those into my tea? Thanks.” Remus croaked.

She nodded, unscrewed the cork to the vials and mixed it into the drink. The clinking sound of the spoon tapping against the porcelain cup.

“What is this?”

“Um… a mixture of powder silver and Nightshade,” grumbled Remus, trying to push himself up as she handed him the cup. “Helps with the pain and fogginess.”

Her mind was restless. “Can I ask some questions?”

His eyebrows knitted together. “Questions?”

“Y’know, about being a werewolf.”

He took a giant gulp. “Did you just skip all the Werewolf questions on the OWLs?” Remus laughed.

“I bet half of it’s false.” She admitted truthfully. “Besides, how am I supposed to help next time if I don’t know?”

Remus stayed quiet for a long time after she said that and she wondered if she pushed a boundary. But then he nodded, urging her to continue.

“Okay… so silver doesn’t hurt you, right?” She watched as Remus sip his tea before having to put it down to laugh.

“Myth.”

“So all the silver bullet stuff..?”

He gave a full-body laugh. “Myth. Sorry, not what you were expecting?”

“No,” she admitted after a bit, embarrassed. All those children's stories were false…

“Silver can’t hurt me, I don’t grow hair rapidly. I like eating rare meat; I have trouble sleeping, I don’t have curved fingernails or low-set ears. I can’t run super fast but I can see better in the dark, can hear, smell and am stronger than the average Muggle or Wizard.”

“Can you always smell or hear better? Or does it increase near the full moon?”

“It becomes stronger near the full moon and after for a while.”

“Wait… Does that mean you can smell people. Like me?!” She was appalled and crossed her arms over herself as if the action would suddenly cover any scent.

Remus barked out laughing before wincing as a dull pain shocked through his system. “You smell fine. Don’t worry.”

Her hands found their way to cover her mouth. She was mortified. “You have a way with words, Lupin.”

Remus was on the verge of tears, nearly choking on himself to prevent laughing. He endured the deep bruise on the side of his ribs digging into him but he couldn’t stop.

She slapped his arm playfully and took the now empty teacup from his hand, setting it down on the metal tray and ushered him to slide over in his bed. He doesn’t hesitate.

Y/N slid beside him, and she could feel the fluctuating rise and fall of Remus’ chest as his chuckles came to a slow halt. She took the rabbit from his lap, holding it in her arms carefully.

“Does she have a name?” She questioned, scratching behind its floppy ears. Remus chose the least threatening rabbit.

“No.”

“We should think of one then.”

Remus watched her, listening to the words pouring out. But then he cringed inwardly, reminded of his cruelty to her a couple of months ago. He wasn’t expecting her to visit and it came as a pleasant surprise. It made his heart flutter. She wasn’t scared. She hadn’t been lying that night. He was accepted.

He tuned in to her heartbeat: steady and calm. Slow.

Her words echoed in his head. I feel safe with you.

Safe.

Remus felt a whisper of a smile worm it's way onto him. As soon the realization came, the dull ache in his body subdued, the burning in his throat faded and the hollow ache in his heart filled with a golden glow. Just a bit.

September 10th, 1976

“I’m sorry,” Black said, his eyes wide and pleading as he sat beside her in the Great Hall. She ignored him.

“I need to explain, please,” Black begged in a hushed voice while she searched the library’s premises for Regulus. She ignored him yet again.

“Tesoro mio,” Black flirted, both sitting in the common room as she added notes in the werewolf section in her textbook. His new tactic caught her off guard but she prevailed, getting up and leaving.

“Talk to me,” Black whined. “Please.” She ignored him, continuing to walk to class calmly and held her head high. She just left the hospital wing and Black was trailing her.

But he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a nearby broom closet and closed the door.

“Get off of me!” She nearly screamed. Thankfully, he was smart enough to keep a healthy distance away. She kept her hands balled into a fist, preventing herself from taking one of the dust brooms and smashing it on his head.

“Sorry! But you won’t talk to me any other way!”

Darkness enclosed them, only the light seeping through the cracks of the old wooden door illuminated Black as every ounce of restrengthen was pushed to the edge.

A flurry of apologies fell from his lips but she wouldn’t have it. Simply looking bored at her nails and tapping her foot against the ground.

“I know you’re mad — you have every right to be! I get that, I understand.”

“Then leave me alone?” She jeered sarcastically, handing grazing the doorknob.

“Wait! Please, just hear me out — let me explain —”

“Explain what?” She lashed out through gritted teeth. “You should count your stars that you don’t have an attempted murder charge.”

Her heart thumped rather fast and would have been distressing had she not been controlled by anger. Everything was overshadowed by a grim penumbra sweeping over them, closing in on her and Black and it wasn’t because of the lack of light in the dingy closet.

She was revolted by him. Sick of seeing his sad face, moping around the hospital wing or looking at her or the other Marauders in yearning.

“Do you think I’ll care about what you want to say?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Apology not accepted, dipshit.”

His head bowed. “I deserved that.” “You think?”

“It’s just that —”

Her temper spiked to the highest level and her hand drifted to her back pocket and grazed the tip of her wand.

“I —”

Something in her snap. “Shut up. Shut up! Stop trying to defend yourself! Stop it! I don’t want to hear it!”

Black was visibly shutting down. “Please, just calm down…”

And then everything poured out.

“Calm down? Calm down?! I gave — I put my trust in you and you immediately ran with it, breaking it twice and then broke everyone else’s! How am I supposed to talk to you like everything’s okay? I get that you don’t like me, that you don’t like Snape, but really? What do you not understand?!”

He was nodding his head, taking it, never once trying to defend himself. His head hung similar to a child being scolded, hands curled around himself.

“You must have never cared for them.”

Black went oddly still. “That's a bold lie and you know that.”

“Do I?” She ridiculed. “Do you want to know the funny part? I was starting to care for you. Apparently, you never did.”

“That’s not true.”

There, a flicker of rage. Finally a reaction other than pathetic regret and guilt. Something cold crept into his eyes, hardening and entirely stormy and silver, reminding her of last year where they constantly fought. But then, it was washed away with a blink.

“I was nothing but a toy to you!”

“Y/N...”

“You. Never. Cared. About —”

“Stop it! Of course I —”

“— Me. Or. The. Other —”

“— fucking cared —”

“— Marauders —” “ — about you!”

Her eyes stung with bitter unshed, frustrated tears and her throat burned, constricting together. Emotions she hadn’t taken a moment to consider hit her within seconds and everything was too overwhelming.

The material of her shirt suddenly turned itchy. Her skin was too tight and she felt herself rock back and forth in a way to calm down.

For a moment, she thought he wouldn’t answer as it fell silent but she struck a nerve.

“Stop saying that!” He shouted. Now not breaking her stare and took a step forward.

“You’re fucking selfish. You betrayed them.” A step forward.

“You only cared about yourself.” Black shook his head. Another step forward.

“If you ever cared about me — about anyone else you’ve hurt — you wouldn’t have done… that.” A step forward.

They were the closest they had been in months. Their breaths were laboured and ragged. Being that close to him raised all the hairs on her neck in a way she used to love but now hated herself for.

The very notion made her nauseous. Disgusted.

She missed him. Truly. It was such a profound hurt and longing that ran deeper than wanting a quick snog or shag. But that was her problem that she was going to have to hide, bury in an air-sealed chest and throw away.

He opened his mouth and he leant forward inappreciably. But whatever words he was about to spew, he stopped himself. She could feel his breath fan her face, both of their chest raised and fell rapidly.

They stayed like that for a while and she held back from crying, feeling her heart pound in her chest.

“Is there anything else you want to say?” He asked dejectedly.

Why did you have to be so stupid? We could’ve… you could’ve had everything.

Do you miss me?

Did you ever care, even a little?

“This time,” her voice was no louder than a rustle, “I mean it. I hate you. Truly.”

Lie.

Black gave her one last glance through heavy, desolate, half-lidded eyes, closing them shut. “Ti voglio bene.”

Her frown doubled, wondering if he mocked her. Why did he always do that?

“At least you’re consistent in one thing.”

She slipped out, her hand on the door and cracked it open, leaving him there.

“Being a fucking liar.”

She slammed the door shut with so much violence that it made a couple of bystanders passing by yelp and stare. The shattering of glass from within the closet echoed and it made her breathless.

She had to lean against the stone wall, her body buzzing and numb from the adrenaline.

Sometimes everything in her life seemed so… random. What if everything could have been avoided? One simple word, maybe if she said something different, or did something different, would the outcome have been better? Or worse?

What if she had two parents? What if she had been raised by a loving mother? Would she have been that hurt by his actions if opening up was less… impossible?

What ifs…

She stumbled her way to class mindlessly, horribly late. The floorboards creaked, cutting Slughorn off while she lurked in the doorway. The teacher’s head, along with everyone else in the room, snapped up.

Lily looked at her worriedly and concern was written in every inch of her face. James had a double-take and became alarmed while Marlene on the other side of the class looked around nervously.

“Sorry I’m late.”

“No worries, m’girl!” Slughorn smiled. “Please, take the seat next to… Severus! Now, I was saying, I have a small tradition I’d like to do every year with my students.”

Y/N didn’t even interject; too drained after what happened and sat by Snape.

“Can anyone tell me what this is?” The professor held up a tiny bottle. “Or can anyone tell me what Felix Felicis is?”

Lily raised her hand, casting a concerned gaze to her before answering. From the corner of her eye, she could see Barty and Avery, along with a few other students whispering to each other as Lily spoke; all of them forcing down a smile. Y/N vaguely sensed herself prickle.

“It’s known as Liquid Luck. As the name suggests, it makes the drinker lucky.”

“Beautiful answer! Quite right! Ten points for Gryffindor! Now, whoever brews the Draught of Living Death the closest will win this prize at the end of this lesson. Off you go!”

The class was scurrying off quickly while she made her way around leisurely. Snape’s sopophorous bean had been hitting her multiple times.

“Would you fucking —” she grabbed the bean with her hands and threw it at Snape and he hissed at. “Just take your knife blade and squeeze it down on the side with your dagger.”

Snape scoffed. “That’s not going to work you d —”

Snape shut up immediately as she crushed the bean with a sharp knife and flicked the juice into the cauldron.

“Now stop hitting me or I’ll pour your potion on the ground.”

Snape’s attention wasn’t on her, instead of trying to decipher her scribbles before taking her book away from his eyesight. She hit him with her book.

She completed the rest of the potion with ease. Snape was nearly done with his potion, she could tell he was on the right path before Slughorn sauntered around the classroom to observe the students. At James’ cauldron, he made no comment but instead helped stir his potion. Lily was given an approving nod, announcing to the class that she earned Gryffindor a few house points until making his way over to their table, peering into the cauldrons. At Snape’s concoction, he gave a bright smile and opened his mouth until he saw hers and a look of pure delight spread over him, his hands clapping together.

“Oho! Excellent! Miss L/N has done it! We have our winner!”

A small round of claps went around meanwhile James and Marlene cheered loudly, effectively embarrassing her.

“Show off,” Snape sneered. She ignored him.

Once the bell rang, Slughorn called her over to collect her vial of Liquid Luck. She slipped the bottle into her pocket for safekeeping.

But before she left, she stopped and spun around. “Professor Slughorn?”

“Yes?”

“I read in my Advanced Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts textbook, but I found that there’s no Potion to help Werewolves. I was wondering if that’s still true? I know books can be outdated.”

Slughorn gave her a pensive look. “I think that’s a matter for Madam Pomfrey. Is there a reason why?”

“It’s just —” She made up a lie quickly. “I’m nervous about NEWTs and how I’ll do in my studies and it’s merely an interest.”

“Oh, my girl! You are excellent. By far one of the best students I’ve ever had. You don’t need to worry!” Slughorn cheered. Slughorn seemed genuine and she smiled at the praise. “And for your question, no. Sadly there isn’t.”

“At all?”

Slughorn thought for a while. “If I recall, there have been recent developments with stewed Mandrakes. It’s rumoured to help lycanthrope individuals ease their way back into the original human state.”

Y/N stored the newfound information in her head. She thanked him, turning to leave until calling out again. Slughorn twirled his head.

“I was wondering if I could practice more — like I said, I‘m nervous about my NEWTs.”

There wasn’t even a delay and Slughorn beamed. “Of course! As long as you clean up after yourself, you may come and go as you please. I’ll make sure to leave the doors open until curfew.

“Oh! I’m planning to host another Slugclub dinner soon, I expect you to be there?”

“... Of course, sir.”

【 Next Chapter 】

Translations:

Tesoro mio = My treasure or 'honey'

Ti voglio bene = 'I love you' but its not like what you think. It's more of an unconditional and selfless love that means 'I want you to be well.' It places an emphasis on the tender and affectionate feelings you have for the other person. It's the safer option to say to your significant other if it's a very new relationship.

Textile Nerd Book Recs

Because @zaritarazi and I were chatting about it and I thought maybe the rest of you nerds would be interested in this too!

Context: when I’m not doing my IRL Grownup Job or fandom I’m a huge textile nerd, I do tons of fiber arts but mainly knitting/spinning/adjacent wool processing as well as garment sewing and quilting. (I’d also like to be a weaver but the pandemic keeps getting in the way of that, alas.) I don’t do textile work professionally and I will not sell my art/mend your jeans/knit your uncle’s cousin a sweater but I have been doing this as a craft practice for many years and know a lot of things. I’m also a Huge Fucking Nerd and love reading about textiles on the side.

These recs are not skill-based or how-to books; these are Interesting Nonfiction Reads if you want to geek out about textiles. but not if you want to skillbuild per se. They can be an excellent compliment to skillbuilding work, as understanding context and history can often enrich your skilled knowledge and practice.

Books I’ve Read

Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool by Clara Parkes: Sort of about sheep but kind of really about the complexities of wool processing from sheep to yarn and the ways that outsourcing of textile processing have affected the ability to make and use American-made wool. Parkes does a really lovely job of getting to know local small-batch producers, explaining the steps of wool processing from start to end in a super accessible way, and explaining both the value of and challenges to creating local wool for the garment-production and handknitting consumer.

Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth Cline: So this book is from 2012, and it feels dated now but this is like. The book that launched a thousand other books about fast fashion so it’s worth reading. It’s a very good deep dive into the questions: how can this shirt cost $2? and should this shirt cost $2? and goes through the granular and broader factors that lead to the $2 t-shirt and why it’s damaging both from an ethical and ecological perspective. If you’re Extremely Online you’ve probably absorbed a lot of the takes from this book via the internet but it’s a thorough and cogent overview and a great jumping-off point to start thinking more about fashion sustainability and how complex a thing it is to tackle.

How To Be a Victorian by Ruth Goodman: Only tangentially about textiles but also very much about textiles, Ruth Goodman specializes in history of domestic life which often means that things like underpants and how laundry got done are much more important than you think. She’s a truly stellar historical fiction writer and if you’re into historical costuming at all this is a great place to dive into.

Books I’m Currently Reading

A Perfect Red by Amy Butler Greenfield: Ok I’m about halfway into this so far and if you have any interest at all in textile dyeing and fashion history is this the book for you. An absolutely riveting history of cochineal, which is an insect-derived red pigment traditionally from Central and South America. It goes through traditional plant-based dyeing as an industry, and does a beautiful job of contextualizing why red dye was so important, and how this dyestuff shaped the colonial history of Spain and the rest of Europe, it’s wild.

Mrs Pankhurst’s Purple Feather: A Scandalous History of Birds, Hats, & Votes by Tessa Boase: This is again sort of fashion-adjacent but I’m about a third of the way in and it’s great. Ostensibly a history of politically active women in turn-of-the-century London, and it parallels Emmeline Pankhurst’s journey with Etta Lemon, a prominent socially conservative activist who was equally instrumental historically - her work was in setting up the idea of bird conservation. This is related to fashion because this was during the peak of the whole-dead-stuffed-birds-in-hats craze, and the little history of millinery tidbits as they relate to feathers are truly fascinating.
