OK, Second Project!
So, after the really airy FP Shawl, I decided to double up the yarns on the next project. After disassembling the triangle loom, I put the rectangle loom up in the longest, skinniest setting: 20 X 240 Nails. Using 2 strands of Red Heart Tweed (purchased as part of a Smileys Yarns shipment to get the order up to $40), the fabric turned out much more solid:



What I didn't realize was the affect of weaving on the Bias: Can we say "Stretch"? Why yes, we can! The scarf, with fringe, hung to my ankles! And that was after washing! The weaving went so quickly, I immediately reset the frame for 30 X 210 Nails (the width has to be a divisor of the length). The second scarf turned out much better. Have a look for yourself:



I like the way they turned out, but I'll be donating these to Charity since I have more scarves already than any truly sane person needs.
