I hope that your spinning gives you much pleasure, and using it as weft is just fine.<BR/>Yes, Connie, I do know and appreciate your commenting so others can learn that others do this. Yarn for knitting is normally 3-ply. I wonder if this would make a difference in the pilling? But soft sweaters commercially made also pill--the softer the more pilling.Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-1577442405702524932009-02-27T06:24:00.000-08:002009-02-27T06:24:00.000-08:00Hi Peg,As you know, I've used handspun for warp fo...Hi Peg,<BR/>As you know, I've used handspun for warp for years. And I've never had a problem with it. Even very finely spun yarns are never a problem. I never size the warp. I don't spin the yarn any differently for weaving than for anything else.<BR/>FYI, I've had problems knitting with handspun wools -- they always pill regardless of how worsted the yarn is spun. But weaving my handspuns has been easy, much to my surprise and delight.<BR/>All the best to you.Cate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-49158595911531514002009-02-27T02:33:00.000-08:002009-02-27T02:33:00.000-08:00As a newbie spinner, I was wondering this same que...As a newbie spinner, I was wondering this same question! I would like some day to use my handspun as warp but for now I will be happy to use as weft.<BR/>As always, a very complete and clear answer!Susan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14429752925288151376noreply@blogger.com
