Notes
Decided to play around with some Alpaca before packing the last loom up to move. The yarn came in at 16 WPI so I thought that 12 EPI should give me pretty dense plain weave sections to balance the open section in the skip-dent threading. Boy was I wrong! I have to be very careful to beat lightly or I end up with a completely weft faced fabric. Once I got the hang of beating lightly the fabric is weaving up very quickly. This is a good thing because I have to finish by next weekend! 2 and 1/2 shawls are done, supposedly I only have 1/2 more but there is a lot more warp on the back beam than I anticipated. Take up has been minimal. I may wind up having to weave a fourth shawl, maybe a short one.
