The 8H scarves are 18 threads per inch.  I intended to sett them at 21, but when I pulled out my records from my prior 8H pinwheels I had sett them at 18 and they turned out fine (not too long floats, not too unstable cloth) so I did that again this time. Again I&#8217;m happy with them, so if I decide to do 4H pinwheels again I will sett them at 18, too. <\/p>\n<p>Back to my first show of the season for the second day in just a few minutes.  Hopefully we&#8217;ll be busier today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April and May are generally good months for wind.
