It's done! My biggest #crochet project to date. Doing a whole sweater with sock yarn was quite the endeavor haha, but I love how it turned out!

The pattern is "Perula" by by Agnieszka Reduch on Ravelry, done with Malabrigo Metamorphosis and Sock.

Chris Fowlie discusses the use of hemp to replace the plastic component of wool carpet, and weed mats in the Manawatu Gorge;
https://feeds.95bfm.com/link/22115/17204660/marijuana-media-with-chris-fowlie-6-november-2025

I wonder if hemp could be used to make biodegradable hay bail wrap for farms, to replace the huge amount of soft plastic they use every year.

Very interesting!

FuturFibre are the company that made the #dag #wool and the hemp weed mats that I’m trialing at the moment.

That roundabout he mentions smelled very strongly of weed for months and months during construction, well before the weed matting was rolled out. I believe it’s synthetic weed matting because it is far too bright white.

Might have to go down there and inspect it a bit closer.

You may recall this plant had all the loose wool stolen from it. I put a felted wool mat on it (see second photo in above toot).

I just walked past and noticed a bird has been tearing wool off the edge of the felt.

I wonder where it’s going!

I'm one of the crazy people in France who don't heat his #home.

Just removes humidity. Can't afford heating, but I have all stuff to stay warm (clothing, etc)
It can go below 10°C

I know the techniques to sleep with -5°C : goose down #blanket, #wool hat, wool gloves, wool socks
And breath strongly at morning when dressing good clothes!

But in Gaza they don't have all this useful things now. It's an emergency to help them

I just finished my latest pair of socks. These are handspun, four ply, toe-up, double gusset, princess sole, with built-in bunny fur. Whew! I think it took longer to write that than it did to make them. #handspinning #handmade #handcraft #wool #fiberarts

My two feet placed side by side wearing the same gray ankle socks. They look very fuzzy and cozy.

Here is my costume this year - I went as myself - a wench! 😆 Happy #Halloween!

This is the cowl/hood I #HandDyed and crocheted this year. The dusty rose accent is #handspun. It is entirely made of #GulfCoast #wool off the backs of my sheep and is heavy and super warm!

#FiberArts #Crochet #Yarn #HandSpinning #Samhain

I skirted Orca's #fleece and I think this would be a really fun one to spin because of all the different shades. It is also shocking how SOFT it is! It's like petting an angora rabbit or a chinchilla or something.

GoFundMe for Kangri Metok

a yak farm that also sells yarn from the yak wool!

They need help with repairs to their solar power system in addition to expanding their work.
