I think about 18 inches is a good length, but you can use any length you are comfortable working with- you have to pull the thread through after two or three "over-unders".

I am doing it with the entire primary school this term. I'm wondering how much yarn is required per cd? I have 550 students all creating one and I'm asking each class to bring in one colour, which would mean a total of 550 balls of yarn varying in colour (tone) and size. I'm going to have leftovers but hopefully enough variety to Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11302768402945204835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675848709764880999.post-37351188784546304442014-09-28T14:29:40.750-07:002014-09-28T14:29:40.750-07:00Warp is a weaving term.
