At 22 inches wide, there are 5,498 pics. Each row is called a pic. At 20 pics/inch (balanced weave), there will be 275 inches of fabric. At 30" per towel, there are 9 towels per cone of colored thread.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-44251903800425525912018-05-28T11:52:04.648-04:002018-05-28T11:52:04.648-04:00Only in sharing the enjoyment.Only in sharing the enjoyment.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-60386200945489531032018-05-28T11:48:00.858-04:002018-05-28T11:48:00.858-04:00I bet they are beautiful, but I'd be too afrai...I bet they are beautiful, but I'd be too afraid to use it.
