I continue to struggle with how much yarn is needed for a project. I get the number of ends per inch - based on the thickness of the yarn, wraped around the 1inch. If I look at a completed project "Table Runner for Nancy". ( Submitted by Padre Wayne)
Sett:20.00 EPI (ends per inch) Length on Loom: 72.00 in Width on Loom: 19.00 in InFinished Length: 70.00 in Finished Width: 18.50 in If the piece is 19 in wide, there are 20 Ends per inch, then I would need (19x20) 380 warp lengths on the loom. I need to add about 20 inches to tie off the loom (right?) (72 + 20=92) Then multiply 380 by 92inches; =34,960 inches or 972 yards. Then I need to have more yarn for the weft. This is where I get lost. I have only done a basic even weave so far. Does the amount of yarn needed change if you are doing a different type of weave? How do you compute the information when you are given ounces instead of yards? I am working on a new to me used 4harness Leclerc. Thanks; Debbie
