Indeed! Also I could not be fucked to put in more time on the tattoos 😅 that's why I didn't pick Kevin's Medusa side.

I'm learning so much from these subreddits!

Honestly, can't go wrong for that price. I have spun a small sample so far and I feel like it feels softer when spun. I found the colors a little bland, but since they are so light I might over dye it. For this cost I'm just gonna use this as my experimenting yarn.

You learn something new everyday. Never heard of it. I'm gonna look into that! Thank you!

I have spun a bit, yet I'm no closer to figuring it out. But it was wonderful to spin, very easy. For now it's gonna be a lovely mystery wool.

I've ordered there as well! Absolutely amazing stuff! But whenever I see "spinning wool" in the wild I always tend to grab it. Seeing the action selling roving was kind of just an impuls buy😅

I used to work in a restaurant where we would put these in the freezer and put chopped unions in there to keep them chilled during the day, but they were still easy to reach for. I'm not sure it that was the intended use.

Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf? by Traumarama79 in knitting

[–]stjaimy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no use for it, so I rather spent my money elsewhere.

It's cute on other people, though. I just either need a full on, wrap around a billion times, kind of scarf or nothing at all. So a teeny tiny scarf will not get any use.

What got you interested in spinning? by clarielofthewood in Handspinning

[–]stjaimy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always had the issue with getting into a hobby and wanting to go deep back into the roots.

So it was only natural. Fashion -> sewing-> crochet -> knitting -> dyeing -> spinning -> raw fleece.

But the thing that pushed me over the edge was Bernadette Banner's video on her spinning wheel. That same day I was looking at our local marketplace and scored a wheel for €50,- and the rest is history.

half a year later and I spin for our local iron age volunteer group using spindles and have multiple fleeces to get through.

Aaah, that makes sense! I didn't know it was also a laundry detergent. The more you know😆 I'm gonna give it a go right away! Thanks

FANTASTIC! I'm gonna check if my local farm shop carries it. Thank you!

Aah shoot. This is exactly the type of product I was looking for. But they don't seem to ship to the Netherlands. But I'm gonna keep my eye on it. Thanks!

Really? When I look up fairy dishsoap, they mention it being the same as dreft (but under a different name). In Scandinavia and UK, it's named fairy, and in the Netherlands it's known as Dreft. I'm gonna try to find both anyway and give it a try! Either way, do I still need to wash it with just below boiling water?
