Using the formula for computing weaving based on 12 threads per inch, double ply thread, that's about what I came up with, too. That's a heckuva lot of wool. Many hours of standing and holding that arm up for the drop spindle.
And did you realize it takes a pound of wool to make a pound of fabric?? hock: :lol:
