[O'Neille]

O' Neille, my girlfriend wants to know how wide your loom is, and what you mean by weaving a double width? Forget the double width question, we figured it out, and it is feasible, if ungainly.

My loom is 36" and my weaving instructor has taught me how to set it up to do a double width. When I was learning I was more consistent weaving the double. If I'm not relaxed I weave single width canvas. Depending on the thread I loose 6-10% during the finishing process. O'Neille
