If you’re a knitter or crocheter who’s been catching up on your dystopian sci-fi & horror this spooky season, you may be considering just how valuable your fibre skills will be in a world where survival is more important than social media—because you can make your own clothes!
But the benefits of fibre crafting aren’t just fictional—The Washington Post has just published an article about the positive effects of handcrafting on cognition, mood, and brain health (with quotes from fibre space™ owner Danielle and customers, plus a shout-out to our weekly Stitch in Space nights).
Now that you’re back from reading the article, you’re probably wondering, “But what about that cool tote bag that Linda’s carrying in the first photo?” Well, you’re in luck, my post-apocalyptic fashion friend, because this and other stylish fibre space™ merch can now be yours!
Pre-order our exclusive “Come The Apocalypse, I Will Have Clothing” design on totes, t-shirts, and hoodies on our capsule, so you can rep your fibrepunk cred in a practical, cozy style.
Pre-orders are open now through November 8, with expected delivery in mid- to late November, so you can gift yourself or your favorite crafter this darkly humorous design.
If all this cataclysmic chatter has you wondering what dystopian designs to cast on next, check out these project ideas for staying warm and cozy while wandering the wasteland:
