It is her olive to slate that I &#8220;deconstructed&#8221; before spinning. The yarn is 12 wpi, so for the plain weave shawl, I set at 6 epi.<\/p>\n<p>The loom was already threaded for plain weave from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/?p=1373\" title=\"It?s Time\" target=\"_blank\">the last shawl<\/a> that I wove on it, so I was able to just re-sley the reed to the new sett and tie the new warp onto the old and just wind it onto the loom, and start weaving pretty quickly. At 6 epi, weaving was quick.<\/p>\n<p>I did have a good bit of shrinkage, about 25%. From looking over some things in Handwoven magazine and from previous projects, this is about right, but I need to start using that in my warp length calculations rather than the 10% that I normally use. (The calculation for warp length is how long you want the weaving to be plus how much you believe the weaving will shrink plus loom waste.)<\/p>\n<p>We shall see how this and my other entries will do in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2013 by G.
