the groypers, supposedly

that temp isn’t so bad where i live now. humidity would be single digits.

if humid tho it’s miserable.

i just measured them taking notes of their width (shown) and length, so i can come up with a plan. never knitted a sweater!

i bought the yarn variety to figure out which sheep i wanted, and how i might want to spin. i got them ecru to learn dyeing with.

ios text completion does this too. as i’m typing another letter i see my wanted word then i touch it but it’s something else!

‪also these carders are stupid small. makes the techniques i see hard to do as there isn’t enough depth, and they only hold like a gram of fiber.‬

‪but a cheap introduction, and i was concerned my matted fleece might mess them up (it did not). i think i do want to buy good ones. ‬

so much kemp in that last sample. it doesn’t always twist lock, so it definitely should be plied, maybe with better yarn.

all the comb waste is also short fibers. i wouldn’t use any of it in knitting, just as weft for low-wear items (curtains, placemats, etc).

room is a mess, but i could just build it into the support beams here. 90 inches of space in the closest area, 79 inches further back. or i could try double-weave on a backstrap, but i’d have to make a new one of those as mine is like 22". might as well make a weighted loom.

i think i will see how it weaves up, too.

and then idk make a warp weighted loom so i can weave 5 feet wide.

of course, after spinning 5kg of wool i’m sure i’d be much faster. i’ve probably spun at most 500 grams, including on spindles.

and dylann was convicted for a bunch of federal hate crimes with the death penalty, and forever in jail in south carolina

grabbed some cotton yarn the other night when i tied up the multicolored skein i added twist to before wetting and thwacking it.

got excited about this, having a strong interest in tools i can make myself for wool. but this seems to only be for carding woven wool fabric (after fulling?) to loosen it up some so it’s more airy, hence warmer.
