However, consider threading the wool warp on more shafts, at least 8. In my experience, wool woven in twill structure (or anything with longer floats than plain weave) will shrink more. You could start with one scarf woven in plain weave and another with a twill of your choice, wash and compare. Length of floats is the key factor so you can modify the tie-up to control amount of shrinkage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
