This is my preferred yarn for making wool i-cord for potholder weaving and frame loom weaving. It works up beautifully on the Caydo Electric i-cord knitting machine into a soft, luxurious i-cord. It weaves up into a lacier square on the Zoom Loom ... and, of course, it is also suitable for knitting socks and such if you are so inclined :)
Each small-batch colorway is unique, dyed by me. Photos show the original number of skeins available. Once a colorway is sold, I may have similar colors available in the future but usually don't try to replicate the same colorway ... making your project is truly one-of-a-kind.
I-cord Tips for Potholder Weaving
One skein of this yarn makes approximately 28 yards of i-cord on the Caydo Electric i-cord knitting machine (about 50 minutes on medium speed), which is enough for about three pro size potholder warps (if combining with loops for weft).
Small adjustments to warping tension can produce either a warp with color pooling, or a random color distribution.
One way of dealing with ends on a potholder loom is to form small loops on each end of the i-cord
Close up the end of the cord by sewing through the 4 open loops.
Bend the cord over to form a loop
Sew through the cord a few times to secure.
Thread the yarn tail through the cord and trim off.
