The worse these companies become, the more I will return to monke. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 2 points 6 months ago This is the exact reason I bought a lathe and mill. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Enekk@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago You joke, but the modern world has actually really fucked textile hobbies. One example is yarn for crochet/knitting. The major producers all moved their production to new countries in the past decade and, along with it, switched to shorter staple fiber (i.e. the individual fibers they make up the yarn are shorter). Obviously, this makes goods made with these yarns worse, but there is also a growing, though rare, problem from people inhaling the fibers while knitting. It creates a lung disease similar to what someone who was exposed to asbestos experiences (though asbestos is much worse). There are still ways to get artisanal yarns, maybe without plastic being one of the primary ingredients, but those are generally very expensive. permalink fedilink source parent [–] palmtrees2309@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago Big Iron taking all the iron like kung fu panda permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) Just need to open-source it and print your own. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] palmtrees2309@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 child) Rear your own sheep, spin your own yarn and start FOSS permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago (1 child) If you are willing to spin the yarn you could probably just get some wool from a farmer for very cheap/free.
