I did my calculations and figured I&#8217;d have just barely enough IF I wove only 1 scarf. Not an efficient use of time, but I really wanted that color, so figured I&#8217;d bite the bullet and do it. I set off winding the warp, and all of a sudden&#8230;what the heck?!! I was at the end of the yarn! Fortunately I had enough to finish the warp, but only a few yards that might be used for weft. I wasn&#8217;t at all sure how I&#8217;d like the scarf with the only other brown I had as weft&#8230;much darker. As it turns out, it&#8217;s just fine, and might have been too bright with the same weft color. I tried to get a good photo to show you, but the color isn&#8217;t even close to actual, so I let it go.<\/p>\n<p>So how did I go so wrong in my calculations on this one? I forgot to take the weight of the cone into account, a mistake I rarely make. It makes a big difference, especially when the cones are small and the yarn is light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 4 days of no weaving I&#8217;m back at it.<\/p>\n<p>Jack is completely useless when it comes to taking a video of me weaving.
