Seed to Scarf II: The Warp

See everybody, middle school math DOES apply in the real world.  Once I have decided on the design of my scarf series, it's time to plan out the warp.  How many threads will be in each inch of the scarf width?  How fine should those threads be?  Do I want any vertical stripes added to the design, or will the whole scarf be a solid color?  How long do I need to make the warp in order to make six scarves?  Once these questions (and many more) are answered, it's time for some multiplication and division, and finally numbers on paper become 16-yard bundles of thread laid out on my warping board.  A new scarf run begins to take shape...
