Quote:Matt said: To make a piece 6 foot wide by 8 foot long took a mile of drop spun yarn.

Using the formula for computing weaving based on 12 threads per inch, double ply thread, that's about what I came up with, too. That's a heckuva lot of wool. Many hours of standing and holding that arm up for the drop spindle.

And did you realize it takes a pound of wool to make a pound of fabric?? Confusedhock: :lol:
