PROJECT

Yarn Selection:

Wraps per inch___________________÷ 2 = sett _______ (Note: If your heddle has ten dents per inch you want a yarn that wraps about twenty times per inch for balanced plain weave. I recommend rounding up as you work.)

Warp Length:

________" (woven length of project) + 10% (take-up) = ________" + 24" (loom waste) =________+ 10" (for sampling if desired) = ________" length of each warp thread.

Total Number of Warp Threads Needed:

________" (woven width of project) + 10% (take-up) = ________" (width in the reed) × (number of ends per inch or sett) =________number of warp threads.

Amount of Yarn Needed for Warp:

________(number of warp threads) ×________" (warp length) =________" ÷ 36 =________' (the amount of yarn needed for warp in yards).

Amount of Yarn Needed for Weft:

________" (width of warp in reed) + 10% (take-up) ×________(picks per inch)=________" ×________" (total length of woven warp) =________÷ 36 =________' (the amount of yarn needed for weft in yards).
