Visualizing the Scale

I know there are a lot of steps when you're weaving. But, I highly recommend one more - visualize the scale of your pattern. This step comes in when planning your project. Start by counting the number of warp yarns in one pattern repeat. Then, determine your epi (ends per inch) for the width of your project. And finally, grab a ruler or measuring tape to see how wide one repeat will actually be. Because we are visual people, going through this step might surprise you when you see how big or how small your pattern actually is! The best news is that it is still early enough in the process that you can alter your pattern or yarn selection to come up with the results you are looking for!
