This would be my punishment in Hell.

@RickiTarr Let's see, is it the:

• someone took a load of pre-orders for specially dyed kits and got overwhelmed with how much work it was and never produced the kits, but kept the money?

• someone set up a club that promised monthly deliveries of specially dyed yarn and fancy gifts for a good chunk of money, but instead sent really cheap shit?

• someone dyed fancy yarn that all the colour washed out of on the first wash?

• someone fake-died to get out of any of the above commitments?

@sheepnik Oh wow all of those are great, and yet it's so much more stupid than that lol. Basically, someone asked creator to tell them how they did their dyes, the creator refused and blocked anyone who asked. Then the people who got blocked made fake accounts and sent emails harassing the creator. Then the creator went off online, and Basically said she didn't want to have anything to do with the community, she didn't want people stealing her work or having their work influence her. Then everyone got mad about that, because the community was the most important part to them. Basically lots of people were assholes

@RickiTarr I'm guessing someone was locked in a room with a bunch of yarn to dye, but she outsourced the task to a little person whose name she doesn't even know.

@RickiTarr I didn't realize that yarn had a dark, seamy underside.

I must not become corrupted by their loose morals and skeins.

@RickiTarr She’s all over my YouTube feed, cause I regularly watch knitting/crochet videos. I still refuse to touch her with a ten foot pole cause I want my hobbies drama free

@farah @RickiTarr posting her to #yarnblock asap!

(Edit: the idea of a yarn/knitting community drama is so surprising, but I guess that can come with any community that has people in it!)

HOW DOES SHE DYE HER YARN I MUST KNOW

@RickiTarr

The yarn underworld

Wesley Daywalker. The definitive Blade. Hard to see how Mahershala Ali will top him but I couldn't think of a better choice. Blade is wearing a lot of what I assume is combat gear. It's black & clips together with shiny silver clips - not terribly practical (but it is tactical). Maybe that's the point & they are silver-based weaponry. I digress. He's out & about at the shops. People mill about in the background. He seems cross. But then he always does. He's talking to a fit doctor woman who I think is called Karen because I seem to remember she falls into a pit with a zombie colleague who happens to also be a toxic male ex. And I'm pretty sure he chases after her going 'Karen Karen' but in a creepy zombie voice. Which as I say it I realise this is how I say my friend Karen's name to her - it must be from this but equally must be baffling to her. However I expect anyone that knows me chalks it down to weirdness. If only they knew there's a reason for everything I do. But it would take too long to explain. So I just do it to amuse myself. To anyone who has bothered to get this far, I say unto thee... May your cup runneth over - may you always have more than you need. X

Ricki! I've literally lost half an hour of my life watching this insanity. I feel like my brain is cotton wool....... MY BRAIN HAS TURNED INTO YARN. Oh my god.

I'm replying to a post on social media about a youtube video someone made about a conversation someone called 'Sock' had on Instagram about WOOL.

This is madness.

@RickiTarr someone uses Kool aid to dye all their yarns? No, wait, someone uses something absolutely disgusting, but beneficial to dye with and is a snob about it.
