Weaving of the chimp inner sleeves

The sweater I was going to cut up is too light, as evidenced from this photograph of Kim Hunter:

So I improvised a loom with some prefabricated frames I purchased at Michael's. There was a selection of various sizes, and I went with 18 inches because I am only weaving the sleeves. The neck covering I will knit up.

I first started by wrapping my yarn neatly around the frame. Any sturdy frame would do I suppose....

Dylan took this photo of me weaving on the floor:

After a few hours, I have the beginnings of fabric that I could use for my costume:
