RetroFed Forums

This community is for all of the above!! However, it has an extra emphasis on:

Projects that incorporate multiple crafts (knitting/weaving/etc) in the same work.
People who do more than one kind of textile.
Questions/discussions that transcend any one specific craft.
Rare forms of textiles (nalbinding/kumihimo/etc) with too small a web presence to flourish in their own dedicated forum.

This is mainly because the more popular textile methods already have their dedicated communities, and we don't want to divide their audience. Here are some of the existing ones:

!knitting@lemmy.world
!amigurumi@lemmy.world
!crochet@lemmy.ca
!artsdufil@jlai.lu
!tatting@sopuli.xyz
!lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works
!sewing@lemmy.world
!sewingrepairing@sh.itjust.works
