I frogged a stray mitten that I thought was a acrylic, but now I'm thinking it might be wool? Or a wool blend?
Not entirely sure there's enough unbroken yarn in a mitten for it to be worth frogging. But it might be enough to make a little double-knitting or cable practice swatch.
Different types of fiber burn differently. Cellulose, animal and synthetic fiber all respond differently to flame, and analyzing how they respond to flame (from speed to smell and type of ash) will help you identify the specific type of fiber. This is important information to help you determine what specific dye will work best on each particular fabric.
We will use "change magic" to form ourselves into 3 groups of 2 or 3 people to work together to identify a series of fabrics and determine whether they should be dyed with fiber reactive dyes, acid dyes, or not use dye at all, instead coloring via surface treatments like paint.
Preparation and Supplies
A flame source. We will use a lighter.
Tweezers. Some fabrics can burn unexpectedly quickly, and tweezers ensure your fingers stay safe from the flames.
A fireproof dish. Dropping flaming fabric onto a flammable surface – or even worse, your fabric stash – could spell disaster. Always use a fireproof dish under your burn testing area.
A glass of water. Just for extra safety, I like to keep a glass of water nearby to extinguish any flames in the case they get out of control.
A ventilated area. Burn tests should be done in a space with plenty of ventilation. We will use our exhaust fan during our burn testing exercise.
Burn Test Chart, which will help you identify your fabric. We will have copies available in class, and a digital version of the burn chart is also available for you on canvas.
Your fabric swatches! You’ll each receive a series of fabric scraps to use for your burn tests as well as a log to record your observations.
The Burn Test
Hold your lighter in one hand and your fabric in tweezers in the other hand. As you bring the fabric and the flame together, note how the fabric reacts, how the flames burn and what the ashes are like. These components of the test all provide great insights into the identity of the fabric.
Some questions to consider:
Does the fabric curl away from the flame? Does the fabric catch immediately, or take a while to light? Are the flames bright? Is it burning quickly, or does it smolder out? Does the fabric simply melt as the flames sputter along? What smell does the smoke give off? What shape are the ashes? Do they fall apart when you touch them, or do they stay hard? Are they congealed onto the fabric?
Please be careful when examining the ashes, as they may still be hot or contain embers.
Use the burn test log sheets distributed during class to collect your burned fabric sample and observations described above. Use the burn chart to do your best to identify the type of fabric you have tested. Scan or take a picture of the completed sheets and post to your blogs to receive credit for your research. This will be graded as part of your blogcheck #1 grade.

I found a great post about burn tests that I used as a resource for this post. Both of these images came from that post. Check out the burn test info directly here.
Danny has found himself reincarnated, for fun! While waiting for Tucker to reincarnate. He’s uh, found himself as a clone now- thankfully stable! But he was apparently also an accident, and overheard some of the people talking about termination, which no thanks?
So apparently he wasn’t exactly an accident per se, they did mean to make a clone, so thank fuck for that! They had apparently grabbed the wrong blood, which he almost snorts at. Kind of hard to do in a tube full of liquid though.
Oh well, he’ll just be leaving now… after he destroys this lab and steals all these files on himself, thank you~ Now, does he want to go on an adventure or find his unwilling donors first…
i know we’re all excited about seeing our favorite characters on screen (even some di Angelo crumbs which i agree we deserve) but tbf all i wanna know is what iris messages REALLY look like
Okay I have to get a single vent off my chest and then I promise I'll be quiet.
I need ya'll to please realize now (before backlash at Guerrilla gets hurled in three years) DLC characters/content do not become mainstay installments in the way you imagine.
DLC characters do not become main characters.
DLC plots can be removed from the main story and recited as exposition in a main entry.
It HAS to be removable, because not every consumer buys DLC. Whether for lack of resources, access, or principal.
I just really don't wanna see people griping that Guerrilla "dropped"... ahem, anything... in three years from now. Or that some kind of endgame was promised and then taken away.
We been knew, or we SHOULD know bc this is how DLCs have worked always forever.
Not to mention BS was even MORE exclusive by proxy of being literally exclusive to a console people STILL don't have easy access to.
Please everyone just be reasonable when the time comes, that's all I'm worried about.
I see post Prime/healing arc prime, as like Leo's intrusive thoughts but like LITERAL
like instead of Leo regestering its Prime he just thinks its his intrusive thought or smth
imagine scene:
Leo and his brothers are in a rooftop looking down the view and Leo out of nowhere just goes: "i wonder how many bones would break if we drop like 5 people from here"
Raph and Mikey would look in concern while Donnie would take it as literal and answer scientifically, but Raph and Mikey just STARES at Leo for a bit
and Leo just goes: "Sorry my intrusive thoughts got to me"
when really it was just Prime wanting to do a little murder
*cue donnie trying to fling himself over for science and the other three stopping him with barely contained "godammit not again" sighs*
Hi guys sorry for the lack of art whatsoever today i finally got diagnosed with the "mystery illness" that has been plaguing me for 2 months now that apparently no doctor could figure out and it was an internal bacterial infection that if went undiagnosed for more time that could have actually caused very serious trouble. Thanks doctors for telling me that i am a healthy, young woman and i need to drink more water <3 if your doctors try to gaslight you with shit like this instead of conducting actual tests run away and never look back !!!!
Went to the Chaînon and the only crochet hooks they had were eensy teensy, but I did find some nice blue mystery yarn.
I did burn tests and I'm guessing the dark blue is another wool blend, and I think the light blue is polyester.* But is it fingering or sport?
I'm a little disappointed about the wool in the dark blue: My daughter is allergic to wool, so I can pretty much use it only for practice. And it's such a pretty blue!
*I said acrylic in the video but upon further consideration I think polyester is more likely.
