Hand washing - which I know you know about, and which includes - wait for this - towels. Table settings, which require table linens. It's all very well to make textiles - people have to know how to use them! (Fabric - it's not just for clothing!)
If I ever start weaving again, really, I want to make table linens, as that's what I always did mundanely, but I don't know offhand size, precise use, etc. (I have a foggy memory of reading about something that was sort of a coss between a modern placemat and a modern napkin. I have no idea where. Was I hallucinating, or is this something I should be looking into?)
I'm thinking of teaching a distaff spinning course, but I'm not sure I'll be ready. Or that anyone wants it... Or that if anyone does, I can teach more than a couple of people. Maybe just a lecture and demo? We know I do that all too annoyingly well... Maybe both? Now I'm really in over my head!
