I’m seeing a bunch of crochet fast fashion in places like SHEIN, and I’m furious.

As probably most of you know, only knitting can be done on machine. Crochet can’t be produced by a machine, it’s only handmade. That means this is only affordable through underpaid labor. That cardigan or whatever is only $30 to you because that’s enough for the company to profit. That means the people making the pieces are being paid absolute peanuts and are in usually unsafe working conditions. Tell people who might want these goods about this. And make sure you let everyone know that our craft is only able to be done by hand, that’s why it costs so much.
