De-stash project
I’ve been trying to use old yarn in every project this year, but the warp on this is all 17+ years old. The rose, pale pink and white are originally from a baby blanket whose owner is now a senior in high school. The red is from several baby blankets. Those kids are all mid 20s. The brown I got used in 1997, so who knows how old that is.
This is a run of waffle weave towels.

“Companies have started incorporating “adversarial patterns” in their garments – carefully designed arrangements of shapes, colours and repeated motifs said to exploit weaknesses in some #ComputerVision systems.
The designers say advances in #computing have made it easier to incorporate such patterns into commercially viable garments. Experts caution that the effectiveness of the patterns depends on the #surveillance system and the conditions in which it is used, but #NickTidball, the co-founder of the clothing brand Vollebak, thinks “adversarial clothing” could be on the cusp of going mainstream.
“#AntiSurveillance feelings are so widespread that all it would take is for a single celebrity to wear one of these garments, currently popular in the #countercultural fashion world, to a high-profile event for it to take off,” he said.”

The EU now bans large companies from destroying unsold clothes and shoes, requiring resale, donation, or reuse before disposal. ♻️
The Ecodesign rules aim to cut waste, conserve resources, and improve product circularity, with medium-sized firms covered from 2030. 🌍

The #global #sericulture #market is projected to grow from $251.2b in 2022 to $468.4b by 2031, at a compound annual #growth rate of 8.1%. This growth is fueled by the #diversification of #silk #applications beyond traditional #textiles into #sectors such as #cosmetics, #medical #devices, and #industrial, opening new revenue #streams. #China is a critical #player in the market, producing 74% of the #world’s silk #output and accounting for 90% of global raw silk #exports.
