Tablet Weaving - making a fringe
I was going to post a video, but the focus was horrible...
At the end of your project, one of many ways of finishing it is to make a fringe.
There are several ways of making a fringe.
1. Take small groups of warp threads (four or more, but your taste is whatever you prefer), making sure that some are from each side of the last weft thread.
Tie each group into a knot as close to the weft as possible. Make sure to include the weft thread in the knot next to the final edge.
Cut finished fringe to whatever length you desire.
2. Take smaller groups of warp threads (two or more, but your taste is whatever you prefer), making sure that some are from each side of the last weft thread.
Twist each group in the same direction and then twine the two groups around one another (practice will quickly show you which direction works for this - if you do it the wrong way it will all come undone. If you do it the right way, they will twine together like plied yarn.
Tie a knot at the bottom of the twist.
Trim ends however you like.
3. Exactly the same as method one, but you can make a second lower knot joining pairs of fringe together (and further knots lower down joining the other pair option - this ends up with a diamond pattern, but is really only suitable for wider pieces of weaving.
