Notes

This yarn is very stiff and has no give at all. The first time I tied on, the bottom threads would sag every time I changed sheds. Then I tried rewinding the warp using the crank and yank method and made sure the heddle was in the down position when I tied the ends on to the apron rod, and it eliminated the sagging problem. (I got advice on what to do here).

I plan to replicate this scarf. Original warp length was 100”, but I had to cut off a few inches (may 5 or so) when I re-tied the ends. I did not make it through the entire weft sequence, and I wouldn’t have even if I didn’t have to cut off those inches.
