Then I took a class, and heard comments from other weavers about how hard linen was to work with. I did have a few problems with that first project, but after I learned some of it's characteristics, and how to handle the yarn, I can't say that I have had much trouble since. <br /><br />When I took Kati's class, we took a little time to examine and hear about everyone's yarn. It was interesting to me to find out that a yarn can look nice, but not be very sturdy. I guess I lucked out when I purchased my 20/1 linen on e-bay several years ago. It was old, but in excellent condition. I guess I would be a lot more cautious today about where I buy.<br /><br />JennyJenny Bellairshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412164662939663593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-586234070021752416.post-11151895410385086452010-03-23T01:48:37.734-04:002010-03-23T01:48:37.734-04:00Weaving linnen, wow.
