    So how long does it take to weave once it's on the loom? I though it was going to be 6 weeks before F&K started.

    It seems we got slid into a gap in the production schedule. (ain't it great to deal with a fellow X Marker?)

    For the amount of fabric we have ordered it will take two days to actually weave the fabric. Then it is inspected inch-by-inch. After that it goes out to be washed and finished. That will take about two weeks.
    Gordon should have it back at the mill a couple of days after that and then he will ship it to me or I will get on the ferry and pick it up.
    I then will need to cut each members required length, box it up with address labels and customs forms. As each box is packed I will make a run to the post office and send them on their way to you all.

    Say about six or seven more months, tops.
