I went to the Artapestry 7 exhibition recently, and it was beautiful. So many fluffy, wooly, shiny textures! Here's my two favourites.
Unfortunately, certain pieces could only be viewed up close, because of the way they were displayed. The one called Birches was completely unrecognisable, because you couldn't get more than 2 meters away...

I was reading a post about the yarn in Ellie’s hat in The Last of Us (Someone said they verified Sweet Georgia, speculation was Malabrigo Rios). It made me think about clothing production in the post-apocalyptic age. Learning to shear, clean, pick, spin, and knit/weave/crochet is only smart preparation for the apocalypse, right? #fiberarts #HandSpinning #knitting #crochet #weaving #yarn
Beau used his day off to go hiking up a mountain to do some #CedarBark #harvesting for more traditional #CoastSalish #weaving work.
He sent me photos as he hiked through the forest. These are just the bark harvest related photos with one fairy slipper orchid wildflower photo - he knows my fave colour is purple

I found this site and it looks interesting but before signing up I'd like to get some opinions about it.
I'm a beginning weaver, I'm interested in finding patterns and projects and ideas and maybe a bit of a community. Ravelry for weavers or something similar.

Long Thread Media - publisher of Piecework, Handwoven, Little Looms, Spin Off, and (soon!) Weft - is trying to save Craftsy or at least make some $ off it - as a subscriber to one of these magazines, I have an offer for a full year of membership for under $2. I'd snap up if I liked video instruction but I don't. Do any of you find Craftsy helpful? #fiberArt #spinning #knitting #crochet #weaving #quilting

Gallup has an amazing selection of Native American art, with much lower prices than other places in New Mexico.
I've been poking at Pixelfed, hoping to find a fediverse alternative to Google Photos. I don't think it's really what I need. But I do have some photos there -- here's a cool one: https://pixelfed.social/p/ddrake/816666846511902567
Copying that here: one thing I did not expect about Peru was the unbelievably rich culture of fiber arts. Weaving, spinning, knitting, dyeing, crochet, knitting -- it's EVERYWHERE. Women all over use woven cloth like this to carry things -- you just bundle up your stuff, tie the thing around your shoulders, and go. From groceries to small children, they carry everything.
These aren't just practical and functional, the patterns and colors are simply stunning!
