Notes

Flagstaff Alpacas 4 ply warp, Stitchpunk handspun weft. 12.5dpi, 96 ends.

Trying out weaving with a pickup stick, in a simple 3/1 weft float pattern.

Pickup stick: heddle down, pick up every second strand
Weaving: up, down, pickup stick

Bailed too short for a scarf so not sure what to do with the fabric… leaving it just as a length of fabric for now :\
