Hello everyone!
I've just received an order of beautiful yarn from colourmart. I got it at a very good price and was hoping it would be great to weave a couple of shawls/scarves with on my rigid heddle loom.
HOWEVER, the yarn doesn't survive he stretch/pull/tug test (whatever you wish to call it) and breaks quite easily, so now I'm stuck with a few cones of beautiful weft yarn, but don't have anything to warp it with


The yarn I purchased is 2/9nm fingering weight cashmere/merino and 2/14NM 4ply yak/supergeelong. I haven't been weaving all that long and and am still trying to understand the numbering system in weaving (I'm a knitter!).
To get a similar thickness in yarn that is also strong enough to use as warp on a RH, what should I be looking for so I can avoid this in future?
I'd greatly appreciate any advice from those more knowledgeable on these sorts of things.
Thanks!
