The article will not be about computer threats and various computer vermin, viruses, and worms, as it might seem. It will be about endless human patience in weaving hundreds of yards of fibers, strands, and strings in the form of acrylic, cotton, or wool #yarn. So, let's see, what human patience can do.

At the beginning of the story, it was a ball of wool (Let's skip the yarn production process, at the moment). At the end, countless more knots than one can count make up all sorts of fashion and design products.

This was created by patiently weaving, #knitting, and #crocheting thousands of yards of wool.
Techniques and different patterns that are passed down through millennia-old generations are still part of our wardrobes.

Up to now, people are involved in this necessity and entertainment. They compete in #skill. They make a lot of effort and try to improve the #technique to get the most out of it. Like me, they cheer over various designs, overwhelmed with instructions for cute flowers or charming shapes that then decorate their homes.

New uses and new processes and methods for spinning, dyeing, and finishing wool are still being sought. But, the manual method of knitting and crocheting stayed the same as in history.
It all starts with one thread, which is grouped or twisted from many tiny fibers.

What you create from these threads is up to you. Woollen ware serves as clothing, a headdress, or a basket that will hide your yarn balls.

It allows you to show your creativity or warm your feet.
