fishy @dithering.bsky.social · 04/05/2026it’s a cotton/bamboo/hemp blend that’s machine washable and more hard-wearing than the fancy silk/linen i ordered to dye (which will be hand-wash only), i’m gonna use it to knit.. the same exact tshirt im making with the silk lmao. but a solid yellow like this sample, silk will prob be color blocked 000

fishy @dithering.bsky.social · 13/04/2026link.springer.com/content/pdf/... the focus was on whether the *fibers* biodegrade, which superwash DOES, more readily than non-treated wool! but they hardly tested for microplastics in the *water* as far as i know, and only tested particles found on the *fiber* to see if they were microplastics 100
fishy @dithering.bsky.social · 13/04/2026when u spend an hour reading a scientific article about the biodegradation of superwash wool but u still can’t figure out whether the hercosett plastic layer on the fiber has the potential to shed microplastics that bioaccumulate in marine environments 110

fishy @dithering.bsky.social · 07/04/2026sketchy for a rough skinned newt block!! haven’t decided if i want a more white BG with a more decorative frame made of leaves n twigs n stuff or a more black bg just with river pebbles. the black bg looks a bit muddy now/concealing the newt shape but it’s hard to tell if that’ll carry thru to final 010
fishy @dithering.bsky.social · 06/04/2026seems the yarn seller did a lil oopsie w their free shipping promo in somehow making the site accessible to all buyers bc, now that the sale is over, it seems like it’s an EIN-required wholesale only site you need an account to buy from and i’m just. rly hoping they don’t notice and mail me my yarn 100

fishy @dithering.bsky.social · 05/02/2026just kidding :) i felted this roving too badly when trying to dye it and now i’m brushing it back out with a pet brush and making rolags, rolling them off the brush with a couple pencils. this fluffs the fibers back up and holds them in a manageable aligned shape so i can spin with them again 000
