so far, the things I think might be cool to teach are:

- dyeing yarn and fiber

- making a spindle

- carding fiber

-combing fiber

- processing wool

-MAYBE tips on finding stuff re: the wool things?

-spinning on a top whorl and bottom whorl spindle

- POSSIBLY how to construct a frame loom/backstrap loom

does that sound like a thing anyone would want to do?

ohhh that sounds cool!

and I think there's definitely an audience for that

neat!

just cause so many fiber tools are RIDONKULOUSLY expensive and it's like

'do I even want to do this?'

ahhh yeah

I think it's a great idea :3

neat!

now the question is whether I put it on Skillshare or Youtube

part of the reason I'm doing it is because there's like classes you can sign up to teach through some of the local colleges for stuff

so I'm doing this as kind of a practice run

ohhh! how exciting!

that kinda sounds like skillshare might be a good venue, but otoh more people know YT :|a then again content can easily get lost/ignored that way

unless you've already built up a bit of a platform, that is

yeah, I have no platform

which is why I'm tempted to go Skillshare

/nodnod

might not be a bad idea :|a

I'm an internet-taught fiber artist, so I think this is excellent.

I literally learned all the knitting and crochet stitches from diagrams and videos.

coolbeans!

same here, honestly

that and an ungodly amount of books

also hey there's that MILLION POUNDS OF YARN from the other day all finished

ooh

eeeeeee, purple!

You do such beautiful dye work and spinning. Do you ever work with non-wool yarn?

nodnod!

I like playing with silk too

I just didn't have any around

I need to get some silk hankies in

it does occur to me I may have put this up a little early.

hmmm?

oh just asking people at like 7 am

when a lot of people don't come on till later
