Some questions have come my way since my recent post on bulky yarns, and I realized one thing I didn’t cover: what will happen if a weaver decides to weave a square using bulky yarn in all four layers?

Answer: it will be doable but difficult.

Here we have some pretty Patons Classic Wool Roving yarn–suitable for dyeing, less suitable for 4-layer pin loom weaving.

Patons Classic Wool Roving yarn. It has twist, so it won't tear apart easily. It's pretty and smooth--a dream to weave with, but not on this loom (unless you like nightmares).
