“I am an introvert. Social nudity is an ice breaker for me and makes conversations so much easier. Naked people are far more accepting, friendly, and do not have the defensiveness often found in textile settings. It’s the only time I feel normal and accepted.” ~RMNC Member

It is unbelievable to me that you can just... sit down with some yarn and make a new piece of textile with your own two hands

"Textile Word Search No. 1"

hotbrownpress.etsy.com/listing/4424...

Word list: weave, warp, weft, shed, hand, hank, dye, & yarn.

I'm also working on #letterpress posters for Knitting, Crotchet, Quilting, & Sewing

And to the #bookhistory nerds out there, this is absolutely a McKenzie homage!

“Property seized from the Jews became raw material for the production of goods for the Reich, resulting in a heinous recycling model. Luxury and beauty were manufactured by people sentenced to misery, cold, hunger and illness.” Amazing exhibit in the Łódź textile museum cmwl.pl/public/uploa...

Trying and failing to read a BBC news article about about the Bondi Beach massacre because I cannot tear my eyes away from an AI-generated ad for roided-out, bespectacled Santa hoodies that defy the laws of textile physics. Desperate to know what disappointing Shein slop is actually being sold.

Brands including Nike, H&M and Gap are lining up to ink major offtake deals for textile-to-textile recycled polyester. It remains an uphill battle.

SciShow did an imperfect video on knitting that arguably fell into old misogynist tropes devaluing textile work.

But instead of just apologizing and saying "that's that," Hank Green went off, educated himself, and turned the whole experience into a learning opportunity for everyone.

I often wonder what will become of shopping, especially for clothing and anything textile, as time marches on. I struggle purchasing clothes I can’t touch.
