Notes

Warped 3-yards. When I noticed the colors pooling, I worked at keeping them pooled intentionally. Some warp threads needed to be broken and re-aligned.

Warp took one full skein of yarn + two ends from the second skein (probably due to needing to break out some of the first skein to maintain color alignment).

72 ends direct-warped on 12-dent reed (6 inches).

Two picks tabby, then started my draft of 3/1 weft and 1/3 warp floats (pic of chart at bottom).

Wove until I ran out of warp, approx 2-3 yards of weft on shuttle. Finished with another two picks of tabby.

2x2 hemstitching on both ends.

Twisted sets of two for the fringe.

Final Measurements:
4.5 width
72” length plus 4” twisted fringes
93.5 grams

Note: Still need to work on calculations. I think I calculated a 91” length when finished, got 80 (including fringes) so that was an additional 10% loss to shrinkage and loom waste. Probably forgot the loom waste. On the other hand, having two “equal” skeins meant that I had almost exactly the right amount of weft vs warp. Good to know for projects using up knitting yarn.
