We're usually there for 2 hours.
Craft Club is meant to be a chill space - I ask that you not bring up politics. I want people to be able to talk about their personal lives and experiences, but this is a time to not dwell upon the horrors.

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.)

So, hey, if anyone gives you a handspun/handknit thing, please recognise it is a truly princely gift. #Spinning #Handspinning #Knitting #FiberArts

Working on a spinning project, goal of a single pair of socks. I decided to do Best Case math, dedicated to anyone who says I should "just" sell my handspun &/or knitting to make money while I'm out of work…
2 hr wool prep
20 hr spinning singles
6 hr chain ply prep
2 hr plying
20 hr knitting
------
50 hr work
x $16.30/hr (minimum wage in my state)
------
$815
+ $18 for wool (on Big! Sale!) = $833
$833. For socks. Before profit. 🤔
