Therefore, you need 500 yards (or 2 skeins of 250 yards each) to weave a 10 x 72″ scarf on a shaft loom. For a rigid-heddle loom, multiplying 100 warp threads times your 2.5-yard warp length equals 250 yards. Two-thirds of 250 yards is roughly 160 yards. That means you need 410 yards to weave the same scarf.
