      Avery Ji-eun When I went shopping for needles the other day I saw that there were many different types for different uses! The needle I ended up getting was specifically for embroidery, so I assume it will work more efficiently for thicker materials as that’s what most people embroider on (ex. jean jackets) Your needle is probably meant for softer, thinner materials so maybe try to go to an art store and pick a more sturdier needle! I’m no expert but it’s just what I noticed, so I hope this helps :) good luck!! ✨

    For all of you thinking “wHy Is It So ExPeNsIvE” it’s not your ordinary backpack. It’s made from recycled material, you can feel it, and it’s AMAZING quality, super earth friendly, water proof. If you look @ their website they don’t just sell backpacks they sell raincoats etc and yea it’s pricey, but it’s the best quality. This is an incredible company who gives back to the environment and helps save endangered species, hence their logo, the arctic fox. Fjallraven helped save them. Not your average jansport it’s quality your paying for people. It’s way better getting an 80-130 dollar backpack that will last you a lifetime than buying a cheap 40-60 dollar jansport or whatever. I personally love kanken. Peace and love💓🌿

    No one has yet commented about how she pronounces Kånken wrong and it’s disturbing me.

      @Belenceee Před 4 lety +2

      she speaks spanish so that’s the correct way to pronounce it.

    • @elettranuzzo4865
      @elettranuzzo4865 Před 4 lety +1

      Belence SS the fact that she’s Spanish may excuse her accent, but the name of the brand is Swedish so you’re supposed to say it correctly in Swedish.

    the å in kånken is pronounced like “oh” not “a”

      @studyjohansen2150 Před 4 lety +1
