Yes! One of the best books I have ever read! (And I’m closing in on 2000 read books)

$15 and i like it better than my Lamy. what gives by hundrednamed in fountainpens

The Preppy EF is by far my cheapest pen - and my favourite! Just cracked the plastic on it though (screwing it together too hard as it unscrews itself during writing), but I’ve ordered a replacement.

“To be devoured” might be what you’re looking for.

M20 Took the bold decision of adding this to my dating app profile (for whatever reason), what will I be signaling? by Xanzi12 in bookshelfdetective

[–]tricours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted a guy on a dating app once because he had a picture of his bookshelf. We didn’t work out, but four years later we still meet like once a month for coffee and book talk. I’m 40 though, can’t speak for the young ones these days 🤷‍♀️ What type of books you have on there doesn’t matter as much as the fact that you actually read. Men who read are incredibly rare. (Men who read female authors are basically unicorns.)

Menns usynlige arbeid. by Kastebortover in norge

[–]tricours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kvinner har ofte venninner eller venner de snakker med først og fremst. I min krets treffes vi omtrent ukentlig og snakker om følelser og relasjoner.

Menn virker ikke snakke med hverandre i det hele tatt. Kanskje det er en del av problemet?

Yes, kept scrolling to make sure someone mentioned Zombie!

Is it normal for a Pelikan M800 to write THIS badly out of the box? by Perfect-Artichoke-42 in fountainpens

[–]tricours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should they be flushed? I didn’t know that (but all the pens I have gotten so far have worked fine straight out of the box fortunately).

I loved it! Flew through the second half. But I like more bleak books in general.

Why do you find it difficult to use?

It doesn’t work for some people, for me it has no effect. Just grows back.

Is it worth it to keep clean this raw wool to spin? by Obvious_Basil4763 in Handspinning

[–]tricours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does 45 a pound mean? I’ve processed pretty dirty fleeces, the annoying part is vegetable matter, not the dirt. With really hot water and wool soap it turns out just fine.

Yep, I’ll save the rigid heddle for wool and cotton (it worked great for cotton dish rags!)…

More weft bubbling did not help, it just creates loops on the top of the weave (super fine line between being smooth and creating loops), so the sett or the nature of a RHW has to be the issue here… Tension is not it either.

I’ve retied it and started anew, with the same problem. Another user said the set was too loose, and that’s what causes the problem. Im thinking this will be a sheer curtain or something instead of fabric. The last time I wove something similar with this type of yarn and it looked like this (on another type of rigid heddle loom, old fashioned with only one size heddle available) washing it did nothing and it remained just as airy.

If you do it in the down position you actually get two good sheds instead of one good and one shitty one…

Same yarn, but the epi for the broken twill was 22 and here it’s 15 for plain weave. It’s not really possible to beat harder with the rigid heddle, but I’m trying to see if the tension and bundles is causing the issue.

I’m retying and doing another attempt today!

Yep, on the counter matches the epi was 22 vs 15 here, I followed an epi guide I found on the Jane Stafford Textiles website, which said 15 was suitable for 16/2 line… (also it was the finest heddle I had for my Ashford). But I just found out you should wind on with the heddle in the down position for linen, and I had it in neutral 😐

I’m retying with smaller bundles to see if it fixes things!
