Okay, when was someone going to tell me that you can take the soft and fluffy fur from some forms of rabbits and spin it into thread? And that you can then use that to make things like sweaters and scarves and gloves?

I had heard of some sorts of work in these areas of course. I'm a tailor, how could I not? Yet it strikes me that most women I knew growing up, that my parents saw fit for me to socialize with, were more focused on the creation of embroidered items or the tatting of lace.

[Don't blame his parents, those were considered very appropriate tasks for young noblewomen.]

Though I admit that I've no fathoming of how one turns the resultant fibers into these things. I've put together delicate gloves at the shop of course, but never anything like a sweater, and what point is there to our shop making scarves when they are little more than lengths of fabric when we deal with them?

Oh dear, I learn new things every passing toward winter, and I do not know how I am to live life with this knowledge without learning more. Where would one even get so special of a rabbit as was suited to make fibers from their fur?

Oh! Angora wool is quite lovely. At least I think that's what you're referring to? I could be wrong! I have used it in a few projects before back home. It's very fluffy and wonderful for cozy sweaters and hats

[unbreakable_king]

Angora wool, huh? What sorts of projects back home?

[haruine]

I think! It's possible I'm not quite correct. I think they're large fluffy rabbits with long hair.

Oh only small things. Sweaters, hats, and scarfs mostly

[unbreakable_king]

Sweaters hardly seem to be a 'small' thing. Unless you made them for sloths.

[haruine]

They were not for sloths at the time. Though now I might want to! If there were sloths that I could give them to.

[unbreakable_king]

I understand that the young man in charge of the delivery business in the markets has one.

[haruine]

Does he? I've never seen one up close. I wonder if they would like sweaters...

Not that I'm exceptionally good at making them. I think I'm far better with hats and scarfs. Which I imagine might be a bit hard for a sloth to keep on.

[unbreakable_king]

I would not know, but I'm certain you could ask. The young one is sociable enough.

How DOES one turn thread and yarn into a hat or scarf? It sounds like magic to me.

[haruine]

I might try. Though I wouldn't want to bother him with such a silly idea.

Oh! It's quite simple really. I could teach you if you would like?

[unbreakable_king]

I think I might be delighted to learn.

[haruine]

I can even bring some of the yarn I've gotten here! It's nothing too fancy but it should be good to learn with.

[unbreakable_king]

Truly? I would gladly pay you for it.

[haruine]

That's not necessary! I'd be excited to help someone else learn

[unbreakable_king]

I'd be quite excited to learn.

[haruine]

Wonderful! Just let me know when?

[unbreakable_king]

I shall. But hopefully it shall be soon. I wish to learn so I can make things for the cold. I want to share them with my husband.

[haruine]

Oh! That's a wonderful idea! As soon as possible then! I'm quite free as of late so whenever you might be free I can stop by to the location of your choosing and we can get started. I bet he'll love whatever you learn to make.

[unbreakable_king]

Perhaps we could meet after I finish with work then.

[haruine]

Sounds good to me!

[unbreakable_king]

Wonderful. We shall find a nice place to do it. There's a lovely cafe nearby. I will buy cocoa."

[haruine]

That sounds wonderful! I'll see you then!

[unbreakable_king]

And I you
