Wondering about the fiber arts scene on /diy/. Share past/current projects, tips, tricks, suppliers, patterns, and news from the wider fiber arts community. Or just ask for help. All mediums and styles welcome. Knit, crochet, tufting, weaving, even nalbinding for the 2 of you that partake.
Currently working on something for a special someone using this pattern. Important you only use pure cotton for this kind of project. https://www.sunnymanilaaa.com/patterns/p/bubble-gum-undies
Also wanted to share my plans for a Valentine’s Day sweater. I’ve been itching for something funky to wear on my favorite day. Fell in love with the silhouette of this sweater (1) and realized this print should work perfectly (pic). Planning to knit it in 8/4 fingering weight cotton (2, 3) for a lightweight and breathable sweater I can wear indoors and out. (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cb10-pull-n17)(https://hobbii.com/collections/cotton-yarn/products/hp-1002481-cone-500?variant=55227808579959)(https://hobbii.com/collections/cotton-yarn/products/hp-1002481-cone-500?variant=55227808874871)

oh fuck yeah fiber arts thread. i'm just starting on these to learn cabling, using a different yarn though (50% wool 50% alpaca chunky from local shop) and just in white. pretty excited for it.https://www.craftpassion.com/cable-knit-leg-warmers/
wtf my image didnt post
>>2965293Very fashionable, anon! Hope all goes well with your project. Currently winding yarn (pic) for my Josephine top (1) and I’m very excited to cast on. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/josephine-top-2
>>2965301Forgot to say, I’m using a fingering weight 75% merino wool/25% polyamide blend from KnitPro. I believe the line is called Symfonie.
>>2965301That's going to be amazing. Be careful winding yarn too tight, it'll mess with your gauge and could stretch out the fiber if you leave it for too long.
>>2965366Thanks for the tip, anon. I don’t think I wound too too tightly but I’ll keep an eye on it. Getting a yarn winder soon cause my arms feel like they’re about to fall off after winding 800/1200m
>>2965378Such a hassle. You can also use a TP tube to start a center pull ball.
>>2965380You’re so right! I tried that earlier and got fed up with the slightly slower winding speed, but I’m sure it just takes practice. Here’s the start of my top! Don’t worry, made triple sure the CO row wasn’t twisted cause the bunching was throwing me off.
>>2965380Also, I love that painting. I used my knees this time but my partner is very well aquatinted with the act of being my swift.
Just received this absolutely humongous (1600m) cake of Miss Babs Katahdin (100% BFL wool) as an early Christmas gift!!! In my favorite colorway too (zombie prom)!!!#thankyoumama
This is my thread! It was made for me! This is the giant shawl I just blocked today. It's (mostly) handspun Jacob that I sorted and combed (I wasn't expecting the white and black to stand out quite that much), then there's a little bit of Shetland and Corriedale at the end where I ran out of black Jacob and had to fake it real quick. Luckily I had bought a super black Shetland fleece recently and had a grey Corriedale, so mixing those together got a decent match for color...if not texture, because the Jacob was smooth and silky and the Shetland is so bouncy it's practically a Down. The main pattern is https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/barnaba-shawl, the edging is from https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rumor
>>2965587Here's a close-up on the white, so you can actually see the pattern. I could not get a decent picture of the entire thing. I'm glad to finally have this out of the way, because it was a huge project that at times seemed cursed. (running out of yarn at the very end was just the finishing touch). Now I can finish the warm shawl I'm making...and start on a sweater with the fleece I just finished spinning...and finish weaving that blanket so I can do something else...
>>2965587>>2965588Beautiful work anon!! I have yet to tackle knitted lace. Reminds me of four leaf clovers. I’ve been thinking about learning to spin. Here’s a lacy crochet skirt I made from a cake I made using cotton sewing thread.
>>2965587is it single ply? this is absolutely stunning. how long did it take you? so many questions! did you spin woolen or worsted? what's your wheel?I'm working on a few pounds of undyed merino that was gifted, filling all the bobbins I own and 3-plying it.
>>2965301Is that your boob up close and out of focus? This thread now has my attention...
>>2965662That’s a finger…
>>2965662
Has anyone seen Game of Wool? If so, what do you think? I have mixed feelings, but it’s a good watch while knitting.
>>2965598Sewing thread! Did you hold a lot of them together? The yarn looks thicker than thread. It's pretty, whatever it is. I like the fade.>>2965631It's a simple two-ply. Don't ask how long it took...I think I bought the fleece in 2021. I uploaded the pattern to Dropbox in late 2022/early 2023. It's a worsted spin, but I wasn't super careful about keeping twist out of the drafting zone (I never am) I probably spun it on the Pocket Wheel (https://www.pocket-wheel.com/), not the Ladybug. I have a bunch of undyed merino I got cheap a few years ago, but I don't actually like merino so I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with it.
>>2965770Yes I twisted 8 strands together as I wound, swapping the colors out one strand at a time to get the fade.I followed this tutorial here;https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrtm9V43/
Screaming crying and throwing up cause my partner got me a yarn winder like I wanted but it’s a way nicer version than the one I was looking at.
Taking a break from my Josephine top to get started on the Karo Socken pattern by Rogue Edits. (1)The plan is to knit two matching pairs of bright, punchy socks; one of which being a (most likely) late Xmas gift. This is my first time knitting socks and I opted to use two sets of Chiaogoo circular needles as opposed to DPNs or ML as I find both uncomfortable to work with. Using Poison Threads’ Lisa Frank collection in colors “Paw Prints” and “Turquoise Tide” dyed from their “sock sparkle” and “sock” bases respectively. (1)https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/karo-socken
I'm working on too many projects at the moment. Socks, a star-shaped pillow, a poncho, and this monster of a shawl in fingering yarn (picrel). I moved into a 200 year old house this year and some walls are slanted, so I figured a shawl like this would make for a nice decoration.
>>2967680Your shawl looks lovely, anon! Congrats on the new house. Do you mind sharing what yarn that is? Love the green.
>>2966060This sounds totally healthy and not insane.
>>2967741Thanks!The yarn is Scheepjes Cotton Whirl and the colour is called Lettuce Party.
I took my band loom along on Christmas vacation and made a couple bands. The black and blue is Baltic-style with designs I liked, I think they'll be drawstrings. Then the blue and gold are tablet-woven bookmarks using the pattern Dawnish Sun from Twisted Threads
>>2968136Oh! I love Scheepjes Cotton Whirl. Such fun to watch the colors slowly change as it works up.>>2968172Beautiful, anon! Especially the longer one. Love the attention to detail. Please do post more of your work if you’d care to. I’ve been considering picking up beaded weaving. Right now I only know French bead and my work’s not as neat as I’d like it. (Picrel)
>>2968439Rip the image rotated upon upload
>>2968439It's still a beautiful butterfly.I've thought about bead weaving, too. With Miyuki Delicas 11/0 beads, to weave motifs like picrel or whatever, but I don't like spending a lot of money to buy the materials to try out something I might like or not.
>>2968441Thanks :)Also, I feel that. I have a humble collection of delicas acquired over time, but it doesn’t feel great paying delica prices. With yarn I know I’m “good enough” to justify it lmao.
>>2968439Well, here's Monk's Belt-style I'm practicing, but it's not going well at all. The pattern threads keep going out of order no matter how careful I am. Maybe it works better with inkle-style heddles instead of the continuous string ones I'm using? Any attempts to look up the technique just runs into floor loom Monk's Belt, which is different. (before you ask: no connection to monks or belts has ever been confirmed. It's just called that for some reason)What's that bead weaving? I don't think I've seen it before
>>2968659>What's that bead weaving?I'm >>2968441 talking about something like picrel. You weave those beads into ornaments, images or bands with needle and string.I'm interested in your band loom thing. Can you post what you use and maybe give me a name or something? I have a hard time finding the right thing in German.
bump
>>2968779>band loomNot German, just a bad angle and a goofy font. It's a Daedalus Penelope: https://www.daedalusspinningwheels.com/penelopeI grabbed one from their first batch, and it looks like they'll have another soon-ish. I like it because it's flexible and portable, but if you're interested in band weaving and don't want to spend money you can always cobble together a backstrap (it's just sticks and string: https://backstrapweaving.wordpress.com/backstrap-basics-an-article-from-weavezine-by-laverne-waddington/ ) I keep thinking I'll set up a backstrap just to try it and then I don't. Can't explain why. But maybe you'll do better than me
>>2965700I'm not nearly good enough at knitting to have strong opinions on things but this show makes me so mad lmao. Justice for the judges who were done dirty in the final product, seeing them talk about it now just genuinely bums me out.
>>2968997Yeah I feel like the production and editing teams completely mishandled everyone involved. Also the way the challenges included more crochet than knitting on a search for “Britain’s Best Knitter” pissed me off a tad. But makes good background fodder for the craft room if you don’t pay too much attention.
I made a whippet for the owner of a dog I am sometimes taking care of.
>>2969038
>>2969038>>2969039Awww! You nailed that, anon. I could never wrap my head around the amigurumi basics, let alone produce such a dynamic shape. It looks like it has a skeleton to it too. Is there wire inside?
>>2969055Thanks, anon. It took longer than I thought it would to finish it. And yes, there is a wire frame inside, so the legs and tail are possible to bend. Her name is Cava and this is her, by the way
>>2969187You sure she’s not part tazzie tiger? Those stripes are beautiful!
>>2969039
>>2969199Wheezing lmao it’s a sock blend of course there’s nylon in it.Also, you’re an ugly color. And, this just in: Local woman gets hand reduction surgery after being called a troon online. More at 11.
>>2969194Hahaha love it . Investigation cone transforms to a vacuum when food is detected, she is a real trash monster
>>2969229Dude you do realize that people can tell your sex from your skin, right?You are male and you have shit taste in yarn. Nobody is surprised.
>>2969256Ok bud.
>>2969263Dude just do better. My man you should make some New Years resolutions and stick to them. Your choice of yarn doesn't pass. The sweater that you will knit will be a size XL men's.Seriously do better in your life, bro.
>>2969265Anyway, here’s the yarn I just bought from a store at the mall of America. The plan is to crochet some lacy underwear again using this pattern. >>2964676
>>2969277
>>2969278That yellow yarn looks very loosely spun. Or is it just the picture?
>>2969278Hey dudebro, you do realize a package of yarn is a standardized size right? And putting that pic through an AI app tells us you are male. Not just from the size of the yarn package but also the skin texture on your hand.Also crochet is the lowest form of "handicrafts" it literally takes very little skill. A crocheted hat will not keep you warm. Again nobody is surprised because of the "trans" "gender" "identity". Picrel is a REAL wool hat and I also suspect your face looks like that dude's.
>>2969365It is pretty loose, yes. I wish the store had some lace weight mohair instead, since I plan to use it for the frilly part of my project, but they were very amigurumi-focused (mostly solid color cottons, acrylic blends)
>>2969376Starting to think that you don’t understand fiber arts intuitively at all. Skeins are not all standard sizes and the length of a skein is rarely published online, usually just the weight and yardage.Also, crochet may be less math and thinking than knit, but it has the benefit of being able to form to a body very easily using creative shaping. Also, I have several crochet hats that keep me very warm in Minnesota winters so idk what you’re on about. Warmth depends on fiber and gauge, not craft. If anything a crochet hat would be warmer since the stitches are 3D and air would get trapped between them. Lastly, what is your obsession with wool? It’s a wonderful fiber that I love to use, but for my use case wool would be inappropriate. I’m making underwear. It is recommended to choose underwear made from pure cotton. Therefore, I am using cotton.
>>2969385>Also, crochet may be less math and thinking than knitI absolutely suck at crocheting, but can knit almost everything. But really, aside from a basic chain I get nothing really done with a crocheting hook.Knitted underwear sounds wild. What needle size do you use? Looking at the yarn I guess 5 mm?
>>2969386It is a wild idea, but I’ve seen very cute results like picrel. I’m using 3mm since the gauge swatch I made with 2.5mm wasn’t stretchy enough for my liking. These aren’t going to be everyday underwear, more like “special occasions” when I want them to be seen
>>2969388
>>2969385Dude your massive male man hand gives the game away. Your hand is visibly transgender. Also you think tying some basic ass knots is more complicated than knitting? You are completely ignorant of any “art” of any trade or artisanal work. All you have is your little “identity” and it’s out of fashion in 2026.
>>2969390>Observed Male at Birth Trans Indentified Male crochets what he thinks a woman would make and fails spectacularly
>>2969573See>>2969385>Also, crochet may be less math and thinking than knitDigging your fashion tho.
>>2969617This angry aggressive lashing out is super masculine bro. What is that brown piece of crap supposed to be? A jockstrap? A headlamp strap? Because no woman on earth would ever wear anything like that bro.And yes, it’s shoddily constructed.
sister-in-law made me one of these for xmasi'm trying my hand at learning how to knit nowi can make garter/stockinette/ribbed swatches at this pointtoday i'm figuring out increases and decreasesi'm starting to understand what i'm actually doing with the yarn and reading my mistakes, although i don't always know how best to correct themany suggestions for first projects?
>>2970280A scarf is pretty basic, but can be boring after a while, if you don't choose some kind of pattern. Maybe a scarf in mistake rib or something.A hat would be another first project, buy a set of circular needles and watch a tutorial or something.Maybe a loof scarf in a big chunky wool to practise cables. If you use a thicker yarn, you get finished faster. Anything that tickles your fancy? Maybe I can give you a pattern or two on Ravelry that could be a good beginner's project.
>>2970291i only have some wooden needles and US6 metal needles atmi need to invest in some circular and double ended needlesi suppose most worn things require knitting in the round short of scarvesscarves might be boring, but i need to improve my muscle memory, so that's not a bad idea, and trying out different textured patterns other than g st and st st would be interestingi'm not ready for cables yet
>>2970296You don't have to knit super long scarves, but they're good beginner's projects.This here is a fun one, I knitted one years ago and it's longer than I'm tall, but it was a fun knit and is pretty easy:https://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter04/PATTwavy.htmlOr if you want something more varied, but still only using knits and purls, have a look at his one here:https://monika-freepatterns.blogspot.com/2006/09/his-scarf-cashmere-one.htmlMake a swatch in the pattern beforehand, see how wide it turns out and if you need to add a pattern repeat if you want it wider.You can also look for fingerless gauntles that are knitted flat and grafted when finished, but I never liked those.
>>2970280>>2970296If a scarf feels like it would be long and boring, get some thick cotton and make washcloths. You can still practice your muscle memory and it's done faster.You might not want to put out the investment yet, but if you're going to go the circular needle route an interchangeable set is a godsend. Double points are somewhat separate because you can make arbitrarily small circles, which you can't even do with magic loop. That said, a lot of sweaters are knit flat and then pieced together, so really the only things you absolutely need to knit in the round for are socks/hats. You can get pretty far with just straights, the main disadvantage is that you can't conveniently rest the weight of your project in your lap when it starts getting heavy. That's only really an issue for big, bulky things, though.
As for stuff I'm working on...loom waste? Hahahah, what loom waste?I got this off the loom, but I wove it all in one piece so I have to cut it up and sew it back together to make a blanket. Alas, I realised I screwed up the pattern at multiple points so no matter what the stripes aren't going to match. Matching stripes in plaid is way hard, so I take comfort in that probably most plaid-wearers throughout history have also had mismatching stripes. What I didn't do was leave gaps between the peices, since I wasn't sure how much I'd actually be able to get off the warp. So now I'm weaving a band to enclose the raw edges, and that's another ten yards of band (accouring to my calculations). At least it's thick so it will go fairly fast...EDIT: HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU DEFINING "A PAIR", CAPTCHA?!
>>2970306I only had straight needles at first, when I just started to knit. After that, only circular. I never again felt the need to knit with straight needles. I also never used DPNs.It all comes down to preference, I suppose.But then again, I hate grafting pieces, so I knit sweaters in the round.Gloves are also often knit in the round.>Double points are somewhat separate because you can make arbitrarily small circles, which you can't even do with magic loop. I can even do small circles with only three or four stitches. Magic loop for the win
>>2970280>>2970309Hey man, that's pretty cool my dude.Have you ever "knitted" a wig for yourself?
>>2970301thank you for the scarf suggestionsi've been trying to make some textured knit/purl swatches, but 1) my tensioning isn't as good as with the basic patterns and 2) when i make a mistake i'm having trouble figuring out how to unwork the mistake and have started a few swatches over because of iti think i'm getting a little ahead of myself and it would be wise to practice more before committing to a larger piece>>2970306>>2970311and thanks to both of you for the needle advice. sister-in-law has my grandma's old needles (where i sourced my metal needles from) and was amazed at the variety. it seems like getting some circular needles that have parts that can be swapped out is the way to go.haven't heard of magic loop yet, i'll look into the technique
>>2970491>i think i'm getting a little ahead of myself and it would be wise to practice more before committing to a larger pieceIn that case, go with the suggestion of the other anon and try knitting washcloths or coasters. For example:https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/basketweave-placemats-and-coasters would be an easy project, I think. It only has knits and purls but you can test how to keep the tension between the different stitches.https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/squishy-washy this gives a nice pattern but again, only with knits and purlshttps://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/a-whale-of-a-cloth this is a pretty cute washcloth that gives you a picture but again, only knits and purlshttps://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dishcloth--herringbone-linen again, knits and purls but interesting patternAnd if you feel a bit more advanced, you might want to try something like this:https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/leafy-washcloth this one has decreases and increases>Magic loopThis technique lets you knit small things in the round like socks or gloves on a circular needle, with out the need to use DPNs. I never used DPNs and exclusively knit with magic loop, but many others prefer DPNs and are faster with it.
Maybe a bit off topic, but I think pic related looks super cool.
>>2970596What is this? Some kind of art project? I like the pattern of the strings.
>>2970597Yes. They weave string around wood and stone in different patterns. I love the wabi sabi-ish look, some of the pieces have. I don't see much more use, than as an art piece. Maybe you can use them as a coaster or a pot trivet with the right materials.
>>2970600I was admiring their tension but I guess it's just wrapping the yarn around really tightly and then needle-weaving the other set. I don't think you'd even be able to reasonably get the fabric off the rock, so they're just art pieces. They're neat, though.
>>2970742How does that qualify as an “art” piece?Just like transgenderHastily conceived, shoddily constructedNot the actual thing it purports to be
>>2970813Attention everybody! The art police with their art checklist suitcase arrived! Listen and learn everybody!
>>297081390% of art is trash, this is true, but you are 100% trash. Go back to /pol/.
>>2970491>haven't heard of magic loop yetMagic loop can look wild at times
is this good tensioning advice? it seems to make sense, and my stitches seem more consistenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOziIfeXhhs
>>2970596>>2964671 says weaving included. It’s a fiber art too :)>>2970600Very cool concept. My rock-loving sister would dig one of these. >>2971024Good tensioning advice is whatever works for you. Her tips may work, or they may not. But they are still worth trying. Experiment with them, and how you hold your yarn/work until you’re happy with the results.
>>2971061>Experiment with them, and how you hold your yarn/work until you’re happy with the results.And don't underestimate the effectiveness of blocking your knitted pieces when you're done!
>>2971152thanks for the tip. i'm using this book, and blocking has about 1/3 a page dedicated to it buried deep in the book, so i wasn''t even aware of this. the book isn't well organized and gives uneven treatment to different aspects of knitting.>>2971061>Good tensioning advice is whatever works for you.i suppose that's why there are so many ways to do the same thing! the youtube link advice of keeping needles perpendicular is working very well for me. before i was knitting too tightly, and now my work ends up sliding on the needles in a satisfying way.
>>2971179With some pieces, blocking isn't really necessary (simple socks or the like) but for something with a nice pattern, or lace, or a shawl like >>2965587 or >>2967680 blocking is mandatory. Also, blocking can help getting the most out of your stitches and help them coming out much neater. It can't fix shoddy needlework, though.
Hello anons. My sister is really into all of this stuff and I want to get her a tabletop loom for her birthday since she wants to get into weaving. I'm totally clueless about all of this though. She has a lot of experience knitting and crocheting and darning and has made various socks and scarves and things so she's not totally new to fiber arts in general.I want to get her something that's beginner-friendly enough that she can learn to weave relatively frustration-free but also use it to make something nice and not be limited by a very basic beginner/handheld model. It looks like a 4 shaft table loom might be the right choice here but again I'm pretty clueless. What do you guys suggest?
>>2971237It kind of depends? If she likes working with color and texture more than anything else, a rigid heddle loom will work. It's the simplest and cheapest option, but as you probably picked up, it's pretty limited. You can expand it with like, pick-up and stuff, but fundamentally it's for plain weave. There's nothing really /wrong/ with that (even very fancy weavers do a lot of plain weave) but it can be limiting. Though if she wants to do tapestry it will do that fine as well. A four-shaft table loom is probably the best mix of simplicity and flexibility. That's where I started, and it's worked well for me. It is more of a pain to set up than a rigid heddle loom, since you have to worry about different shafts and such, but you can do twills and twills are great. The one I own is a custom so I don't know what actual brands are best, but it looks like the Schacht Cricket Quartet is a nice place to start and won't break the bank, even if it is rather narrow. For something more expensive, it looks like Ashford has a nice table loom. I'd personally recommend 24 inches as a good weaving width - it's not so wide it's hard to find a place for, but it's not so narrow you're stuck only doing scarves. (for stuff like blankets she'll be weaving strips and sewing them together anyway) (by the way weaving is /fantastic/ for making blankets) You'll also have to think about reeds, and unless she has a lot of very fine yarn a 6 or 8-dent might be a good place to start - you can always thread more yarns through the dents. A 12-dent is really good for flexibility (it just makes the math easier in a lot of ways) but a too-narrow reed will abrade the yarn and she probably has mostly knitting yarns, which are generally thicker. Learning to Weave by Deborah Chandler is a great introductory book, if you want to help her get started with dressing the loom and doing basic weaving. It's how I started, and it gives very clear instructions.
>>2971237>>2971272You can try checking Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace for something used, which does happen a lot, though you're running the risk of grabbing something that doesn't work off an estate sale. Looms are pretty basic mechanically, though, so some care will probably fix most issues up.If your area has a weaver's guild you can try contacting them for more information about what's in the area, they'll probably be thrilled to help. Just be careful of hyper-opinionated types.
>>2971273>>2971272Thanks, this is a big help.
>>2971497Checking around, I think a Flex loom would be a good option: https://lojan.nl/product/flex-shaft-loom/ It's got options for a decent width, can convert from rigid heddle to 4-shaft to 8-shaft, and it's reasonably priced. Only trick might be finding someone selling it, since you need to find a reseller. But should be worth looking at.
i really want to get into rug makingi want to fill my house with big colourful rugs but even the most primitive ones youre lucky to find for under $1500 at least around herehow hard can it be? just build a big frame and grid it up? i made a latchhook paint by numbers rug when i was a kid it wad tedious but not crazyanyone here make rugs?
>>2972860I reckon it's not necessarily hard but very time consuming.If you have the time to do it, by all means go for it.
>>2968441Bead weaving is fun and actually inexpensive considering the cost of beads and how many projects you can get out of a hank of beads. I have some suggestions if you plan to start:Buy only Japanese or Czech beads. Cheap Chinese ones will ruin your projects either because the bead sizes are different, bead hole is too small, and they break easily. Use only 100% nylon or special beading thread, you will need to try a few brands before you find your favorite.Start with larger beads such as size 6 or 8 before going to 15/delica. My favorite stitch is peyote and brick. I do loom sometimes as well. It's calming.Pic related is one of my creations, it's in my car. I hope to start beading on fabrics soon.
>>2972860If the Iranians can make big fuck off rugs while living in caves I'm sure you can too, anon.
>>2972860I don't know a lot about rug weaving, but as far as I know, there's basically two kinds.Latchhooking, which is pulling yarn through canvas and getting that fluffy effect andWeaving, where you have to own a loom. There are pile techniques that are basically latchooking but you're also making the cloth at the same time. More common for rug weaving on a loom is a weft-faced fabric where you need to beat real hard to make it work. It sounds like you want the more latchhooky kind. You probably could do it with a big frame, weave the base fabric, then hook on top, but I dunno.
>>2973377I'd like to start, but the beads actually feel kind of expensive. You probably need a couple of colours to start, and then you're already at least 20 Euros in for some colourful beads without knowing if you actually like it :/I like your blue jay, it looks pretty cool.
>>2973512That's more expensive than I thought, even knowing Miyuki delicas are the most expensive beads out there, cost $12 for 23g here too. I like TOHO beads cause they're a bit cheaper try those. Prices in my local stores are more like pic related and for a 23g tube of Czech stuff. You may be able to find starter kits where you get a small variety of beads to try it out too. Thanks for the kind words about the jay.
>>2973532I will keep looking, thank you. Right now I'm pretty busy with knitting, so I don't get bored, but I keep an eye on the prices and look for Toho.Thank you!
