After a great deal of angst and uncertainty (yes, I know lacemaking is supposed to be fun) my Yaspe silk scarf is in production!
Placing the hitch in an area left clear of thread at the top of the bobbin seems to be working okay. The pattern itself is quite simple and I am getting a feel for the thread. At times â and with a very great deal of care â I stop and remove a tiny bit of fuzz from the largest of the slubs. I determined it would be easier to finish the fringe before removing the pins so that is done. Here is a video showing how to make a twisted fringe. watch-v=8b2jL4UgsfA Not only does it look nice, it will prevent the 112 bumpy threads from tangling. My fringe is about seven inches in length so it has a generous and luxurious look. How long am I going to make it? I havenât decided yet; I suppose I will keep going until I run out of thread or get bored! Any predictions or suggestions?
