Addition cloth for Oli finished:
So far, I have woven 60" of 180" for my Viking Apron Dress! Solid blue point twill cloth off loom 25-25" wide 8 meters 8 inches long.
I wove off the warp with the matching weft and discovered I still had a lot of warp. So I decided to weave off the rest with a coordinating weft for a shawl.
Measurements of shawl off loom are:
woven 73"
Fring off back of loom: 16.5"
Fringe from between to pieces of weaving 8"
I twisted the fringe before putting it in the wash. I twisted a 2 strand fringe with 10 ends in each strand.
Shawl measured before wash
