Hi Suzette:
I've been using my hand spun yarn for blankets, shawls and scarves with no problem.
I like thin plied yarn but have woven with well blocked singles too.
I have two suggestions. First, make sure you spin enough for your project. I learned my lesson on that one the hard way. Second, test the yarn for stength. Doesn't have to be super strong.
Good luck,
Barb
