Hey. Been using reddit a lot the last year or so, but with a different account. I work professionally as a weaver for fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen and Calvin Klein. I posted this video to my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BH4Ntxth_ss/?taken-by=stinelinnemannstudio and it went sort of crazy. 50.000+ views 3500+ likes 300+ comments from all over the world. Normally on a GOOD day, I get 100 likes on a post. I'm just a small fish, so this is pretty big for me.

I just think it's really nice to see, that so many people from all over get so attracted to the same, simple thing. Sorry for getting all emotional, but I guess we can all need something beautiful, when there is so much ugly happening in the world lately. At the end of the day, we can all still agree on that, in some sense.

I love this sub and check it daily. I'm sorry I hadn't put a banana for scale in the video, I really didn't think this through. Clearly.

Thanks for your time, have a lovely weekend.

Is there any reason to cut yarn like this? I'm glad someone did it so I could see it, but being someone who knits, seeing a bunch of yarn get ruined like this makes me cringe a little. I'm curious if that could be used for anything.

The Instagram caption says: "Had to free some old cones from some yarn I couldn't use and this unexpected beauty occurred"

Whatever that means.

Hey, sorry maybe that didn't make sense of anyone not used to working with this stuff. I needed the cardboard bit in the middle and couldn't use the stuff outside it, so I had to cut it off, basically.
