An interesting Yarn ...

The Yarn Bombers have created a mini woolen version of their hometown including: the local pub, post office and church.  They have spent the last two years furiously threading the quiet high street of Thrapston in Northamptonshire, complete with hanging baskets and pedestrians.

Family dedicated to traditional paper-making craft .... Post # 1 of 3

Tantou town is located in southwest of Hunan province, where bamboo grows in the mountains. An ancient handmade paper-making skill has been inherited in Tantou since the Sui Dynasty (581-618), which made Tantou once a renowned paper-making center in Central and South China. 
Since 2015, Li Qiugui, 35, has been committed to inheriting the ancient craft of handmade paper from his father Li Zhijun with the paper-making techniques such as bamboo cutting, soaking, crushing, squeezing and drying. Li Qiugui wishes that he and his father could promote their own workshop to a paper-making research institute known nationwide.
