It uses much less warp, and since Punkin's wool is limited, you might want to try it. I can send you information if you don't know how.<br /><br />The sample looks great. After fulling, I'd cut the fringe to about 2 1/2 - 3". But, I'd protect the fringe during the fulling process - maybe by weaving in a synthetic weft so that the fringe doesn't felt to itself or wool weft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-4951309741187458822011-02-26T01:09:28.583-05:002011-02-26T01:09:28.583-05:00Just last night i was tossing around the thought o...Just last night i was tossing around the thought of weaving, and like Christine said "i'm not going to take up another hobby..

I know Punkin’s wool is so precious and I am so glad you are doing a throw with it. I love the white on white and the pattern is wonderful. It’s the perfect choice. Can’t wait to see how it comes out. As for me--I love the loose, messy fringe :)Thanks for sharing this great post with FFF!Verde Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551515900687338284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-44012549486334609832011-02-25T20:54:48.403-05:002011-02-25T20:54:48.403-05:00That is amazing!
