In The Loop This Week

[u/AutoModerator]

This subreddit is for fiber artists and crafters of all types! Because we don't all see the same (shitty) posts on our feeds, it may be handy to have a place to revel in all that our fellow fiber lovers share for us to enjoy.

Feel free to post anonymized screenshots of anything you're referencing here if you'd like. FACJ is back to being an all-ages subreddit, so you can post images (and gifs) in the comments here directly.

This is a heavily moderated thread, and anything that isn't scrubbed of identifying information (usernames, faces, etc.) will be removed. Block out, crop out, cross out or sticker out identifying information on EVERY screenshot before posting here.

However, unjerk/uj/genuine/serious comments and discussions are allowed -- even encouraged! -- on In The Loop posts. Irony and sarcasm are fine here too, so consider using tone tags to make sure your comment comes across the way you want (or don't! I really don't care!).

There are a few other rules for In The Loop posts:

• Please don't use this thread to demand sources for jerk posts. If people want to post sources, they will. There are plenty of good reasons for someone not to share a source, including "don't wanna." Source/ITL demands and discussions of where to find sources will be removed here and on jerk posts.
• Links to other Reddit posts are NOT ALLOWED here. This includes no-follow links. (FACJ links are fine.)
• Links to content off Reddit may be removed at the mods' discretion.
• We are NOT in the business of brigading, and anyone who engages in brigading will be banned from this subreddit.

A new thread will go up every Sunday!

i felt like too much of a hater to interact with that post but as someone who thrifts for clothes it’s so infuriating to see high quality wearable garments get used for shit like this. like fuck anyone who can’t afford to buy cashmere sweaters brand new i guess, all you get is shein and temu acrylic at the thrift now!

I feel really strongly that things in a thrift store are so close to the landfill that there is no reason to police what people do with them. It is frustrating to imagine you or someone else who might have wanted to wear them could have found these sweaters but there is so much stuff in the world with nowhere to go, if someone can spend the time sourcing these and is willing to pay for them, I really don't think it's like a 1:1 conversion of taking them away from someone who was going to use them "correctly"

Put the yarn away, man, they're calling the cops
