Hi! I'm Linus :3
I grew up in northern Italy and am now studying computer science at TU Graz.
Some of the things I like are computers, free and open source anything, languages, yarn crafts, older gaming consoles, cooking, and music.
In my spare time I am an active member of my local students union.
If you have any questions, regarding my talk or otherwise, or just want to say hi, you're welcome to do so.
I use male and neutral pronouns (for example he/they/er) in any language.
Session
Textiles are everywhere, yet few of us know how they’re made.
This talk aims to give you an overview over the complete transformation from fiber to finished textile. We'll be exploring fiber properties, spinning, and techniques like weaving, knitting, crochet, braiding, and knotting, followed by finishing methods such as dyeing, printing, and embroidery.
You’ll learn why not only fiber but also structure matters, and how to make or hack textiles on your own without relying on fast fashion or industrial tools.
