Did it maybe get woven too tightly? I haven't woven anything since grade school so all my knowledge is second hand. I have a couple of unused skeins of Noro sock yarn and I keep crocheting scarves with it but I do love the look of the Noro striped socks.

Or look at Ravelry for infos about the "fulling process" but I didn't weave Alpaca yet so I don't know if it can help. But your plaid looks great, even edges, balanced - good work! All the best, Sabine Hi, Crystal,
