I just took a double weave harrisvile shetland blanket off the loom. What other options for fringe do I have besides twisted?
I am really lazy and tend to not do twisted fringe. I left enough warp, 6-8 inches at each end, on my Harrisville Shetland blankets that I could tie a group of fringes with 4 warp threads in a knot really close to the woven edge and then another knot at the end of the group....repeat
Wet finish in my front load washer on gentle/delicate. Take out of the washer and pull the little groups away from each other if they've stuck to each other, but DO NOT separate the threads inside each group. If the threads inside some of the groups haven't sort of felted together yet, dip just those groups in a little water and roll them back and forth in my hands to felt them more. Dried in dryer on low heat for 10-15 min.
Finish air drying, then trim the knotted ends off of the groups to 3 inches or so of fringe. I use a rotary cutter and mat.
Hi Cheryl,
Have you ever tried super short fringe- eyelash? Fringe? I believe you mentioned weaving with cashmere and wondered about your ends.
Hey NATO, I have not tried that short of a fringe.
Thank you! Looking forward to trying it.
