Found this badge Daughter made for her dad when she was younger 😅
She always used to call him the "world's number 4 dad" and when quizzed as to why 4th place she'd say it was "more realistic"

It's weird to knit with - it comes apart so easily in your hands, so you have to be careful not to put too much tension on it as you go. But once it's knitted up it's strong and won't break, because of the fiber length. Magic, really!
I knit this with it a few years back.

Yknow how the Chinese censorship coloured all the blood in white? To me, they uncovered Zoro’s deep truth and improved the series immeasurably 🥲

Shanks: Behold! It is I, the Alpha wolf!
Mihawk: I thought that the entire concept of alpha wolves was a misconception?
Beckman: Yeah, but we let him pretend. It makes him happy.

I also love Icelandic wool, especially lopi, though more so for outerwear.
Lettlopi is so rough it hurts my hands if I work with it too much, but the pullovers I've made with it are fucking WEATHERPROOF.
And plotulopi is fascinating to work with, it's unspun and sold in plates of drafted roving.

This is such a boring answer but a good quality, sturdy, fairly toothy sheep's wool. Maybe shetland. Not superwash, not too highly processed, but with plenty of spin to it.
It's good for colourwork and hard wearing. Gets the job done, unfussy and upcomplicated, and will last a generation.

Zoro and Sanji are known as the "wings of the pirate king" - they're opposites, in many ways, in terms of both skills and personality. Sanji is sharply dressed, charming, so damn smooth, and fights without weapons. But both are essential to Luffy, his right and left hands.
