Weaving advice
Hello all in the ranks of the DIYer's I have not yet woven my own tartan.
I got a new loom today, an old sturdy floor loom with a 45" weaving width.
Seems just the thing to get me interested in weaving wool again.
So I am asking for those of you who weave if you have a favorite yarn supplier and if you could help me pick something out that would give me a nice 16 oz cloth. I currently have a 12 dpi reed and since most of the 16 oz cloth I have worked with is woven at around 35 yarns per inch I am thinking 36 isn't much of a stretch.
Let me know what your thoughts are as well as any words of wisdom to the beginner (I do plan on weaving a scarf before warping up 10 yards of tartan btw...)
