I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I am also sharing my SECRET persona, Lt. DAX, my life in code while living in Bajor. Maybe fiction maybe not is up to you to decide. Peldor Joi!!!

Weaving without a Fringe
Weaving without leaving a fringe, it is possible if you have an open mind. I saw a lot of names for the terminations of the fringe. There are many ways of terminating a weaved piece without a fringe and you can use a specific color so that you can make a fold, or just like here sewn. I left a long tail about 3.5 meters from when I last weaved. I then proceeded to work the thread around four rows of weft yarn, up and around until the end. I have a video to help you see, I will have better videos later so that people can see the fun part of weaving terminations.
If the wool is not superwash you will have a better fabric after you wash it. You can cut those warp threads off and they will practically disappear. You can always make those threads go and hide on the wrong side of the fabric, specially if you are using your fabric to line a bag. Weaving is fun and I hope to share more stuff with you in a few weeks. I am busy with other projects and weaving is actually my non mental projects hobby.
This little video will show you a bit more about this fabric and I hope you find it useful. Thanks for stopping by!
