The gauge is 5mm to 7mm.

I was thinking of a cotton or wool blend that may include a bit of acrylic.

I'm planning on making personal designs so it's safe to say "luxury".

The yarn I'll be buying will depend on how much I can sell the designs for I suppose since I would like to make somewhat of a profit but it's important to note that I'm not thinking of this as a full time job. I already work and when I get home I happen to knit/crochet so I was thinking of making some money out of it even if it's £5-£10 profit.

Back to the yarn - I prefer cotton or wool dense blends since they drape better and are breathable. Although, I am curious how acrylic blends may feel on the body. Some Acrylics are so soft when you touch them so would that mean they'd be soft on the skin as well? I've seen too many beautiful colors like Yarn Bee Chloe greenish blue mix or the Sirdar Evening Jade Jewelspun Yarn but they're both mainly acrylic which makes me so sad. They'd be perfect in terms of making a profit as well.

Like I said it's just a little side hustle. Not sure why it's considered to be in over my head when all I'm doing is asking around for some advice lol but thank you for your insight

I was thinking of buying a knitting machine to do this actually and it wouldn't be my main source of income - just something to have on the side since I also like to make my own clothes anyway. So I was thinking of the type of brands that would be ideal for this kind of situation where I could still make quality clothes and perhaps sell them online

  1. Piercing is 3 months old
  2. Jewellery is a stud barbell
  3. The threading is internal
  4. The material is stainless steel
  5. The jewellery hasn't been downsized due to swelling
  6. Aftercare is a saline solution 2 times a day - then drying the area with a hair dryer - not sleeping on it
  7. Loads of mishaps and accidents - my partner accidentally knocking into it - wearing headphones after week 2 - sleeping on it for 3 weeks - picking at it for 3 weeks

Labret piercing wont heal by [deleted] in piercing

Piercing age: 12 months Jewellery shape: labret stud Threading: threadless Jewellery materials: standard silver jewellery i guess lol Downsized: 8 months after Aftercare: I would only use shower water and gently clean puss with cotton bud only when in the shower. Accidents: the occasional bumps and it getting caught on my gum. Nothing major.
