New Skills
I've discovered a new skillset I'm gaining from my life in the crafting world.
I'm beginning to be able to read the words for "yarn" and my favored fiber types (like alpaca) in multiple languages. Generally, they're educated guesses, based on surfing foreign websites and I'm not always entirely sure what language I'm looking at.
For example, this morning, I've been checking out Norskflid.no, a presumably Norwegian website. It carries "Garn kvaliteter" in subsections things like "alpakka" and "ullgarn" and "Vev og broderigarn." I'm not entirely sure what the last one it. "Bomullsgarn" looks like it might be a cotton-type? Maybe a plant-blend? *squints at pictures* I still don't know what "Vev og broderigarn" is. All of the yarns in that subsection are really fine...
According the internet "vev" is loom and "og" is and. Maybe "veg od broderigarn" are yarns for weaving?
