'This is an icy teal, which feels like a reinvention of the last recession's turquoise, but colder. This is a color that makes you want to support your neighbors and sabotage the modern gestapo in anyway you can manage. It's a color that makes you want to dismantle a police state. A beautiful background for socks, or a hat, that all say what? FUCK ICE."

Happy Distaff Day, traditionally January 7, the day after Epiphany, when women returned to spinning after the Christmas holiday.
For spinners, then and now, the distaff holds the wool they are using to spin yarn on their spindles.
Here are some free knitting patterns for knit distaffs from my craft tool post

#crochet #FiberArts folks, got any suggestions for what to do with leftover yarn when I'm finished with a project? I've been setting it aside for a "scrap" blanket and baskets, but curious if anyone has favorite projects they like to use leftover yarn in. I'm talking half a ball or less per yarn, 50 to 60 meters tops and in some cases only 10-20 meters.

I'm back! Our Mastodon server was down for maintenance for the last couple of weeks, so I couldn't post over the holidays.

Happy #NewYear! ✨🎇🎆

I finished the purple #handspun yarn. It's 196 yards! 🥳 I did manage DK weight.

I'm working on #HandSpinning its sister #yarn now.

Did you do any #FiberArts over the holidays?

The *best* thing that happened in 2025: my daughter Callie Hand opened a yarn shop in Maui!

We’re pretty sure Stitch By Stitch is the only dedicated yarn / knitting / fiber craft store in the state of Hawaii — in a suitably marvelous setting at the Maui Tropical Plantation. Open about 2 weeks now, it’s really quite magical.

My nephew's wife, Abby, learned to knit off the internet during the pandemic. She made these for my mother-in-law (her grandmother-in-law) this year for Christmas, and I am absolutely blown away by the level of detail.

(The photograph looks like one is slightly bigger, but that is a trick of the camera - in real life they are the same size!)

Ah, yes. The return of chaotic crafts.

The first crochet project I’ve finished in quite a while for a friend. Since I’ve got all the supplies out again, I’m thinking of some projects I can dive into to support our friends in Gaza. Stay tuned.

Fellow fiber artists, does anyone know a good dupe for Knit Picks' Wool of the Andes? I got so used to working with it, but with the whole carpet beetles thing, I don't want to buy from KP anymore (and I recommend other people don't either).

(More info: basically, KP has been selling yarn that has carpet beetle eggs in it and lying to customers about it. It seems one of their warehouses has an infestation. This is all technically alleged at this point, but it seems pretty obvious. Lot of people saying they got carpet beetles after buying from KP.)

Building a #mycelium ... an item in our museum (unknown technique). @fiberarts

More about the technique, which was a hype at the end of the 1960s (I still search for the name): https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/115644399768918679
