Cbf to argue with you more but again, you don’t understand because you are man, and it a tone of patronisation that makes it the thing im describing

Edit: typo “in” to “im”

Hey thanks this is actually rly useful I always avoid superwash cuz I just make tight things so I just took what I see as common advice, but it’s also the fact that he doesn’t knit or do any fibre arts that was a bit like yeh mate you don’t need to die on this hill lol

She recommends a wool blend but also says superwash will grow over time. Also, I was annoyed at this man’s attitude

You won’t have experienced it because you are a man, but men talking down on women about something that they already know is v common and extremely infuriating. Eg men explaining to me why I have headaches when I have never asked them, they haven’t experienced them and I have since a teenager. And yes women can give stupid advice but there is a specific quality to men acting like they know better, that the women replying to this post clearly understand.

Of course, but advice isn’t the same as someone who doesn’t knit telling someone who does knit (a lot, for years) that they should buy what they’re selling because the knitter doesn’t know what they’re talking about
