Honestly last week was pretty tough. There’s no safety net, but I’m not going to point out just how easy it is to violate our rights without due process in detail online. There’s already a nasty chilling effect on our rights to free speech and rights to assembly.

The plot so far. #ooeygooeycowlkal #threefatesyarns

My bad it was raised to $26 billion in August from $21 billion in March.

@ecology101.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol... $21 billion dollar and counting in foreign investment in living wage jobs down the drain, because foreign investment requires that we be welcoming to foreigners. Here I thought some of these IRA projects were fool proof. Who knew? The irony.

Here’s me cooking up something new with too many shades. I went through and made two additional shades of my base 27 colors last week.

I finished my #brightaxis tee at long last. Pretty good fit honestly. Soft and warm! Also wearing some jewelry from @birdieparker.bsky.social that I bought from a @lolabeanyarnco.com collab (I’ve got the yarn too…) as kind of a pre-flock purchase.

Picture two shows what using merino yak nylon, a brown gray base does for bright colors. Same dyes, approximately the same colorways.

Gradient mini selfie wall anyone? Come to the summit building in Seattle today until 4.

See you tomorrow at flock and fiber Seattle!!!

Just some progress of man my #brightaxis tee for the #flockkal. #threefatesyarns

I'll be at Flock and Fiber Seattle Saturday and Sunday. I'll be bringing sweater quantities of the merino yak silk, merino yak and nylon yarns, kits and spinning fiber. I’ll also have to my samples this year! #threefatesyarns #handdyed #yakallthetime #luxuryyarn #asianamericandyers #knitknitknit

A few sightings of the Hanyeo women of Jeju.

And we’re off to Seoul (via Seattle.) #pdx

Swag from Black Sheep Gathering. #jenkinsspinningtools #aneedlerunsthroughit #yarnunderground #phatgirlsfibre

When it says join being careful not to twist, weights are useful.

I’m here in Albany, Oregon at the Fairgrounds for Black Sheep Gathering today until 5 and tomorrow until 4. See you soon!

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at Black Sheep Gathering in Albany Oregon at the Fairgrounds. I’ll be at the Market Friday- Sunday with lots of yarn and fresh fiber.

I can’t remember the last time I did yarn cakes. And these kind of match the fiber - I’ve been using the blanks to soak up excess dye for a fun effect.

Got a favorite? Let me know.

It’s a good start.

Oh wow, I watched a couple of shows in Chinese (they are twice as long as the Korean ones I usually watch) and I'm back to my regular Korean ones. I really missed the Korean language. Looking forward to my trip to South Korea this summer...

In case you didn't know, I *mostly* post my politics on my other account, not because I care I am trying to keep my politics out of my fiber, but because some of my sustainability friends don't do textiles... Also it can get a little academic. (I.e. it's my job so I think you think it's dull...)

It's been my observation over the years that different soaps & chemicals take off acid dye off your hands differently. Ivory soap is great for a start, then conditioner is work and a little rubbing alcohol does wonder for your nails. Reduran is always helpful and so is a sugar scrub...

Service grants were abruptly cut for over 32,000 AmeriCorps members last night, including the one that I was part of in 2007. It serves rural Oregon communities annually bringing technical assistance at a high level at low cost. For more and to help: amsc.memberclicks.net/index.php?op...

I rewound these on my sparrow from @daedalusspinners.bsky.social with the help of a video from long draw James. It’s Hello Yarn…

Kdrama and ADHD sometimes take me down a rabbit hole. Did you know I'm a *bit* fond of stationary supplies? I saw the Mitsubishi hand-crank sharpener and was after a couple funky key word searches found it on this page. I had no idea there were so many types! www.jetpens.com/blog/The-Bes... #adhd

I need a new word for orange. Someone keeps ruining it for everyone else.

Had a fun day dyeing mushrooms over the weekend with Julie Beeler at wildcraft studio. Grateful for others showing up when I couldn’t on Saturday.

Some more work on my Tryptophobia Shawl. Here are some pictures showing how I’m fading in the colors. @xandypeters.bsky.social

@ecology101.bsky.social It was very kind of the clerk to mention that a US passport is proof of citizenship - she's probably been reassuring folks for months.

@ecology101.bsky.social I've been anticipating this. Clearly in a society where American education is under attack, the new federal regime gets to decide what's true, not museum specialists and academics who've done extensive research. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

I finally got my Trypophobia shawl launched. The Tryophobia Shawl by Xandy Peters in Helios DK by three fates yarns. I’m using a set of mini skeins so i will change colors eventually. @xandypeters.bsky.social

⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Another potential showdown re: rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

Did you miss my show at the Rose City Yarn Crawl? I just got the semi-solids posted to the website. I'll work on the DK weight mini skein sets tomorrow. threefatesyarns.com/collections/...

#MeMadeMonday 3/3/25 Literary Shawl by @sundaughter.bsky.social 🧶: @madelinetosh.bsky.social & @threefatesyarns.bsky.social

A shot of my yarn hanging up at northwest wools during the rose city yarn crawl.

At first, I thought I was just losing at yarn chicken but then I realized that the after thought was placed wrong on the first sock. Upon reflection, I now realize that means the leg gusset is now going up the side of the leg… socks are going in time out soon!

Coming soon to the Northwest wools website is the rose city yarn crawl three fates yarns pop-up. It will be filled with new Helios sweater DK minis, aural sock, Helios sweater and aural mini skein mini skein sets ! There are many newly named color.

The Rose City Yarn Crawl starts this week. As a reminder, three fates is participating as a virtual pop-up at Northwest wools due to a work conflict. I might run into you as I’ll be in town a lot - we’re hosting a conference at PCC! This is a photo from the display at Annie Bloom Books.

For some reason today the words "on fleek" keep popping into my head along with the reminder that I am a bit seasoned.

Weaving so far. #colorgamp #weaving #fiberart
