How to weave in ends
Practical guidance: how to weave in ends.
Key principles
- Run the tail in several directions following the stitch structure.
- Do not tighten tails more than the surrounding fabric.
- Test the result after washing a swatch.
Step-by-step process
- Record yarn, tool and project parameters.
- Make a small test and measure it without stretching.
- Compare the result with the target and change only one parameter at a time.
- Record the decision in the project journal so it can be reproduced.
Common mistakes
The most common mistake is treating label or pattern data as a guarantee. Technique, fibre, stitch and washing can change the result.
