she/they
not here, nor anywhere really
here's how they come off the loom! they still need to be washed and dried where they'll shrink a bit and fluff up! cotton "blooms" in the heat and it makes them so absorbent and fluffy

how does weaving work you ask
well in the simplest terms, one position lifts up every other string and pushes down every other string. you pass a thread through, beat down, then lift the opposite. you do this enough times, bam. fabric.

there's a lot of other complex weaves you can do on looms too!

in the world of ai being forced down throats it's nice to remember a bunch of strings can make fabric just with my hands and a little machine

felt like a million years but my stack of towels for my first market is complete!!! 16 towels, one oopsie daisy set that is a little quirky, and a couple scarves. I'll even have some scrunchies and some mug rugs!

i have no idea if this is too little or too much but we'll find out 🤪
