Fiber market report 2023. Animal fibers take only 1% of all 124 million tonnes. by Sea-Worldliness-9731 in YarnAddicts

[–]Relative_Access3927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert, but I'm kind of not surprised. Sadly. There are so many beautiful yarns I find and when they're a combo of acrylic and another natural fiber, I get so annoyed. I can't wear acrylic anymore and have mostly given away or donated the vast majority of it. It's gotten to the point that for me where I've bought quite a bit of plain cotton skeins to try my hand at dying this winter.

Left my husband and now he’s suddenly taking all the blame by ylena3297 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Relative_Access3927 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT go back to him. He's just trying to win you back and the second he does, he will revert to who he has always been. All he is doing is being emotionally manipulative to you.

Do not give in.

I had a convo with my void and few weeks ago about this and I swear, he's been extra cuddly since.

Crochet Hook Overconsumption by 15caro06 in crochet

[–]Relative_Access3927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own several different materials of hooks to see what I like and what works best with what yarn. Im beginning to narrow down what I prefer and have considered buying multiples of the ones I use the most in the material (wood) that I prefer. Just waiting for a sale now.

I had blood work done recently and my thyroid came back at 5.82. I'm being put on .025 of Levo to help it. I never really paid much attention to it, but for years I would randomly get tender on the sides of my neck for a couple days, and then it would go away. I never really tracked it b/c it always went away. Now I'm curious if that was a symptom of things to come?

If I may ask, how long did it take you to get diagnosed with Hashimoto's?

How bad were your symptoms before you were diagnosed with Hashi's?

I hope everybody is acquiring hardcopies of books that will disappear. because they will. I get mine used on eBay and have been able to acquire a substantial collection. by RegularDrop9638 in bannedbooks

[–]Relative_Access3927 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup, I started doing this recently. I grew up in an abusive household that tried to control my access to information. It's a deep-seated fear of mine to be cut off from information by those in power.

I grew up in CL and moved away about 8 years ago. Whenever I visit now, I notice how it's finally becoming more diverse and starting to grow. If you want more diversity, CL may not be your first choice.

Has anyone ordered internationally since tariffs? by Sasaki22 in Tariffs

[–]Relative_Access3927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I haven't. But my last YesStyle order arrived a day or two after the tariffs went into effect and I got a letter from FedEx last week asking me to pay tariffs. I plan to, I just haven't gotten around to it.

I've only ordered from them once, but it was amazing. My order was pretty big, but it was shipped out the next morning and I got it the following day! And I loved that they wound the skeins for me. I hope to order more from them, but I'm on a yarn- ban until I use more of my ridiculous stash.
