  1. One of my work-friends strongly recommended going to the charity shops while I'm in London on vacation (they are, indeed, very different from thrift shops in Canada!) and I found an absolute TREASURE: 4 balls of genuine wool/alpaca yarn for £10 altogether (they were marked at £3/ball but the boys at the counter insisted on only taking a ten since I was getting 4 of them). No cute new dresses or the like (I did try a few things on but nothing seemed like I'd get real wear out of it), but this one find makes the 3-ish hours spent going through a half-dozen shops MORE than worth it.

  8. 1/2 Before #FastFashion, with irresponsible exploitation of ressources and workers, people invented ingenious methods to develop #naturalFibres.
    I made #plantFibres myself by hand and it is indeed #slowFashion! The black hair is from a neighbour's #horse, the greyish one I combed with a dog comb from #hemp. The #fibre waste I donate to the birds. Now I feel the urge in former times to invent machines for such a slog! #culturalHeritage #fibreArts #fiberArts @fibrearts @fiberarts
