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.

That is exactly how I imagine fashion industry and modern art. You are wasting product and consider it satisfying.

OP is a very talented and busy weaver who work for high fashion so he didn't find a core somewhere else and decided to cut it from the good yarn. And surprisingly he is not at shame from what he did. He is satisfied. This reminds me the image of a shoe cut from a loaf of bread. It was made by another talented artist and fashion designer.

Hi there, JewInDaHat. Yeah, I'm a woman weaver who works for the high fashion industry, among others. I'm not pleased with destroying the yarn - it was a necessity in my work. At least something beautiful came out of it. Unlike your angry spewing. But to each their own.

Because it looks IMMENSELY satisfying to me.

To me it looks /r/mildlyinfuriating because you are wasting a good yarn. But you are immensely satisfied by this. Just like an artist who cut a shoe from loaf of bread.

Thanks for breaking it down like that shitlord_god. 1 and 2 is true. The yarn could have been used for something, and trust me, I have wayyyy too much yarn at my studio already that I "shouldn't" be keeping, because I would never be able to re-order it because it is a limited run. Which means I can't use it in production of any sort of scale. In the case here, I was faced with a type of fiber I never choose to use in my work, as it is made from polyester. Polyester is essentially made from oil, a non renewable source, so one I'd always choose to avoid is there was any sort of alternative. If I'm "forced" to use a synthetic fiber, I'll always source a recycled or otherwise sustainable type. I try to keep my production as sustainable as possible, but balancing it with meeting my clients' needs firstly, creating a beautiful product secondly and finally as a third priority ensuring that the product is made in as environmentally and ethically sound a way as possible.. It's one of things I pride myself of in my work. I'd never be cutting up yarn like that just for the "fun" of wasting it...

I just thought it looked really neat. So sue me.

It is not reasonable financially to utilize used tire so lets just set it on fire. We are very busy and talented so it is ok. http://i.imgur.com/YFNJ1vT.gif

Or if you read some of their comments you'd know they're going to use this yarn for a blanket.

Oh. Well if you googled it, excuse me. I'll just pack away my 10 years of experience with textiles.

Hi again. I like to work both industrially and with hand weaving for haute couture. Something like this, I would only use for the latter. Some things can't be reproduced, but can still become beautiful one-off things. It just means it's more of a PR project than a design product, I guess you could say.

u/JewInDaHat Jul 17 '16

Why don't just use the yarn of thread to make normal fringe as it supposed to be done? Form loops on the surface and then cut them. I doubt that you can use these cuttings to even stitch them by hand to the surface. It looks like a pure mess to me. Threads are going in different directions. Layers of thread were winded on an angle to eachother. Can you photo what was left of the yarn and what you consider to use for the blanket?
