I am going to use the handspun leftover from a commission I had over 10 years ago.
It was spun full woolen from merino rolags. It is two ply.
I’ve got a large ball for warp. It has been cut into pieces and knotted back together.
There is a smaller ball that looks about right for weft.
My goal is to use these both to make a simple scarf.
Warp
Using the larger of the 2 skeins as warp.
It has 79 * 2 = 158 yards in it.
3 yards long * 5 = 15 yds per 1” of warp.
10” wide max.
I made the warp 94” long and 12” wide. There was a bit of warp yarn leftover.

Wove lots.

Cut ends.
Ironed and photographed.
I am always amazed by the fact that I can weave a something useful in 3 days.
I may keep this for myself. It is snugly and perfectly imperfect.
