It's impossible, for me at least, to know when it's 'full enough'. I had no difficulty doing the fulling again, then brushing. But I did the second round of fulling after just one pass of the brush, when I could see it wasn't full enough. <br /><br />Did you try that? Could you do it now, even after it's all brushed?Peg Cherrehttp://www.secondwindjewery.com/jewelry-weaving-blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231303442426460519.post-14464194555884933452016-11-20T18:41:01.823-08:002016-11-20T18:41:01.823-08:00My first introduction to weaving was at a market i...My first introduction to weaving was at a market in Pirongia (south of Hamilton) where a lady was selling mohair blankets, warp and weft. I was so smitten I had to get a loom right off. I did try a pure mohair blanket (once) but had weave it in two layers and found it impossible to get a shed. Wove the top layer, cut it off then rolled the warp back and wove the second, selling both as shawls.<br />If you put your wrap out on a line or railing on a windy day it might help lift the pile.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01401039267862076516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231303442426460519.post-8745186358817960932016-11-20T06:15:02.911-08:002016-11-20T06:15:02.911-08:00Wonder why you don't full it some more if you ...Wonder why you don't full it some more if you think it could use more fulling?Denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14853082258211830995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2231303442426460519.post-75213259960448378312016-11-19T21:58:24.660-08:002016-11-19T21:58:24.660-08:00Well that's not the outcome you had hoped for...Well that's not the outcome you had hoped for but nothing ventured, nothing gained!
