Notes

I’m duplicating the baby alpaca shawl to use up the sari silk, only with Shetland wool instead of alpaca. This time I sized the sari silk in gelatin. Sizing helped a lot but I still had to put hair gel on two warps and one silk warp broke toward the end. Still, I wish I had used a 6-dent reed and remembered to weight the silk during sizing.
