🌊👗 When a 17th century cargo ship was discovered in #Oulu, #Finland in 2019, its leftover #wood scraps were almost thrown away.
Instead, a team of archaeologists, chemists, and #textile designers at #Aalto University dissolved the waterlogged pine into pulp, spun it into fiber, and knitted a seamless brown dress.

@vicgrinberg Not linen, but #silk: I have one silk shirt and I recently applied #sashiko to it, with an iron-on repair patch on the back. I think it came out well and it's held tight, so far.

#Knitting #WIPWednesday – ever so slightly delayed by #life:
The semicircular shawl is nearly out of yarn, but not yet out of rows. I will switch to a complementary but far brighter colour when it runs out. I played #YarnChicken and lost. (Being fair to myself, the pattern predicted 1200 m, I purchased 1380 m, and used a smaller needle, but still missed the gauge somehow.)
Still have not decided if I will block to points, or a soft ripple.
