OH! Now I see. Well...that should work. That many splices, though,
could get icky fast. I'll think about it. Would water work or does it
need to be viscous? (Feeling a bit queasy)

SPIT splice. Just frizz the ends, overlap, moisten your palm and rub
the ends briskly between your palms to fuse them together. Some folks
like to get the wool all squidgy, I just lick my palm and get after
it. Much faster/easier than weaving in all those ends!

I might have known that any real solution would be very work-intensive.
Thanks a million for the suggestions, Wooly. I've never actually
done a split-splice, but weaving in separate plies sounds feasible for
me. Six-inch lengths, though...my heart quails!!
