when i worked in social housing and we had to do priority assessments, other staff would ask applicants if they were "registered disabled", no matter how much i shrieked that it's not a real thing

so far i am enjoying the fun blends and colours but given that it's world of wool who have so many different british sheep breeds, i would love less merino and more idk wensleydale or bfl or even their mystery english wool blend tbh. hoping for more of that later

i am not super knowledgeable about it tbh but i do know it's made from the casein in milk and was quite popular in like the 30s before acrylic etc began to be massive manufactured for cheap. it has a sort of silky feel and sheen to it
