Today, getting what you need is as easy as a trip to the store. From food to clothing, energy, medicine, and so much more, Andy George will discover what it takes to make everything from scratch. His mission is to understand the complex processes of manufacturing that is often taken for granted and do it all himself. Each week he’s traveling the world to bypass the modern supply chain in order to harvest raw materials straight from the source. Along the way, he’s answering the questions you never thought to ask.

It really is amazing how abundant fabric is now. The amount of effort that went into making it before technology took over a lot of the work is admirable.

@catinabox3048 2 жыл бұрын

To be fair, back in the old days, many commoners had only two to three changes of clothes, patching and passing clothes down (for kids) was a common thing, and getting new clothes was something done for very special occasions only. So even though the labor took longer, they didn't necessarily have to spend more time on it.

@Hi-og5ow Жыл бұрын

To be fair, machine woven fabric doesn’t compare to the quality of hand woven stuff. Hand made fabric is also sturdier and lasts significantly longer, as well as it can be made so fine it just doesn’t fray.

@cvspvr Жыл бұрын

@@Hi-og5ow man, that's not true. machine made fabric can be as strong or as weak as you like, it's just that machine made fabric is cheaper, so machines are often used for making cheap, weak fabric

I have a Fiber Arts degree.... this brings back so many memories. Warping takes FOREVER... Almost more than the actual weaving.

@RobespierreThePoof Ай бұрын

Just in fiber arts? Never heard of that. Ok . Maybe at FIT. Or select art schools. ... And now that I think about it, technical universities in Europe. .. Ok. Nevermind. I HAVE heard of that. I don't have the patience for fiber arts. Far too intricate and repetitive for my easily bored brain. And I would never complete warping.

FTR though knitting was originally a man's hobby, done during the doldrums and the long ocean trips by sailors on ships. It's still considered a masculine or at least non-gendered hobby in some parts of the world. A couple years of ago, I was watching a documentary on some famous male snowboarders in Scandinavia and in their spare time, it showed them - a few tall, built, young men - knitting scarves and caps for fun in their living room. The host - an American - thought they were putting him on but no, this was their regular way of relaxing.

I have taught a few people over the years and only one male wanted to learn these skills, the rest were females. More should be done in schools.

@tm13tube Ай бұрын

The challenging work is up front. Once the warp is on without error the weaving is easier. The concentration is less. Weaving is a good opportunity to work in the flow state. It’s rhythmic. This video is a start on how so many things come together after a sheep, alpaca, is shorn, washed, combed, spun into yarn and woven, knitted and many other ways can be turned into a useful cloth. It is endless, the learning for where the differing skills intersect. KZfaq videos, if you find ones that teach the way you learn.

Have you ever tried tatting? My grandma used to tat in the winters to make all sorts of very beautiful table coverings. Her daughters never wanted to learn how, so she taught me. There are two types of tatting. Shuttle tatting, which is what my grandma taught me, and needle tatting which is easier to learn. I learned needle tatting from a video on the internet. Tatting is done with two simple stitches combined in different orders and with different spacing to get different effects. It is mostly done with a single color of fine thread, but is possible to be done in multiple colors as well. I have an electronic knitting machine which is the faster way to make knit fabric and knit items. My machine has a lace carriage, a ribber, a 4-color changer, and an electronic pattern controller, in addition to the pattern sheet reader. Mastering an electronic knitting machine takes a lot of learning and practice. An electronic knitting machine can do weaving as well.

Lol.. Fellow Minnesotan loving the videos. FYI on the knitting, there are knitting looms and knitting machines you could use also.. Though if you're trying to keep it kind of historical, I have no idea when these things were invented. I loom and machine knit a bit.. Still not able to needle knit. :-)
