Technology

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.

Then I will start to make my own cordage from nettles. The worse these companies become, the more I will return to monke.
