Question for those that know about #weaving
I bought this colorful ball of sock yarn at a needlecraft fair recently. I'd planned knitting socks, but now I'm thinking about weaving with it.
I have 100 g / 420 m. The yarn has long stretches of each color (visible at the left edge of the ball band). I thought about using it as warp and using black yarn as weft to get a lengthwise striped scarf. I have a cone of super thin merino.

@FanCityKnits I think that could work well, especially if the bands repeat at relatively similar distances.
There is a project/technique in Inventive Weaving on a Little Loom called "Palindrome Skeins" where the skein is looped so that the color repeats show up in bands together. Then it is all warped according to those bands.
@kyle oh, I'll have to look up that.
@FanCityKnits Yes that is exactly the technique!
