This would show that yarn to perfection, I think. The fabric would be nice and drapey, as well. I've made a number of scarves like that, and they turned out really nice. <br /><br />I don't sample enough. I did, however sample with my raw silk on the destructo loom, and determined the set for 2 different projects. <br /><br />I always do a gauge swatch when I knit, why don't I sample when I weave? Don't know.

Samples are a good way to learn without expending a lot of time, effort or money/yarn. :)<br />cheers,<br />LauraLaura Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599868570350256631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-61544257883512368832013-07-30T06:10:15.852-07:002013-07-30T06:10:15.852-07:00I learned a lot looking at your samples.

You have got me to thinking that some of my handspun might be better used in a knitted project over a woven one.Benitahttp://www.basicallybenita.comnoreply@blogger.com
