ThreadBbdr: You made linen?! Wow! I would love to see that garment. How long did it take you from start to finish?
Wsk: Pretty! I am no spinner, but I know beautiful work when I see it!
Lyrd: It's going to take a lot of trial and error. Choosing the type of wool to use (We're leaning towards a lambswool from New England right now.), experimenting with thread thickness, playing with dying, not to mention the time it will take to actually spin the thread. Then we'll have a slew of weaving experiments to run including how tight to weave the fabric, how thick our warp threads should be versus our weft threads, and lots of practicing! I've only made one kilt, so I'll be practicing that as well. Plus, we'll both be working our full time jobs all the while! I think five years might be a conservative estimate! =)
