Alpaca Warp

With a little help* I warped up the Alpaca yesterday and today I hope to get it onto Dorothy to start weaving.  It's enough for 3 scarves - and will be a twill, herringbone patter with the warp using 'Cairo' and the weft using Chocolate.  There's a dark/Chocolate band down each side of the scarf, and each scarf will have 2 inch fringes that I'll sew in like the CF/Indigo scarves.

* I didn't make balls from the skeins then warp, but rather asked Anne to sit patiently with skeins on her hands and I warped directly from that.  I have the plans to build a swift - that will need to be done for any larger projects - luckily this one was only 3 skeins.
