Textiles Are Magic
Society can’t exist without textiles
Even if you consider clothing optional … tools, traps, and shelter are usually made with textiles.
More relevantly, I like making textiles, and sometimes I like telling you about them.
Spinning
Taking someone’s (relatively short) hair or fur, or a plant’s fibers, and convincing it to stick together to make one very long thread.
We usually use a drop spindle or a spinning wheel, but you can even use a stick!

- I haven’t learned to prep or dye my own fiber … yet

Knitting
Turning one very long thread into a three-dimensional utilitarian object (e.g. a sweater or a sock).
(A lot of people crochet, too, but that’s never been my jam. 🤷)

Turning two-dimensional planes and one-dimensional thread into three-dimensional fashion. Keeps you warm, too!
