Awesome fringe idea

[Stitchinpick]

I have had the biggest headaches with fringe in the past. If anyone has used Homespun for fringe, you know what I mean! Yikes! Anyway, browsing around today on the net I ran across this FABULOUS idea for fringe! I don't know if it will work with Homespun, but I know it will for other fringes I have made.

Have any of you tried it? I may never make another type again. I am going to experiment now!

That is NEAT! I'd seen things before (like on storebought items) but hadn't thought to do it myself. I have a whole bunch of ideas now!

That has got to be a lot easier then cutting hundreds of strips. I like this idea.

 

Thanks for sharing!!

great idea!! I have made similar things (belts, etc) doing the twisting thing, but never thought of using it for a fringe. Thanks for the link.

I made that scarf last winter and I the fringe on it. I'm not crazy about doing fringe and sometimes used to leave it off a pattern if it looked okay with out it, but with this it was kinda fun to do all the twisting and then watch it sproing up afterward.

So how do you do it?

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

That's a great idea. I make a lot of prayer shawls for a group at church and I hate making the fringe. This looks so much easier. I also like the scarf, it isn't feminine looking so it will make a nice gift for my husband and son.

Wow this looks like a fun idea. I can't wait until I have a project that needs fringe.

Hmmm, I wonder if that would work for ribbon yarn? I did a scarf with Lion Brand Incredible that's been sitting waiting for inspiration to strike on how to finish/fringe the ends ... I think I'll give that a whirl and see!

I understand that another method is to chain the fringes and slip stitch to the next stitch. (I haven't tried it)

YaYa Yarnhood - scroll to the bottom. It tells you how to make it and it seems really simple for being so finished looking.

 

Crochetfun - that's how I make my ties for shirts and hats and stuff. It would probably look good as fringe, too.

That's what I've been doing lately for fringe. It turns out nicely, and it is not too difficult to do.

Well Doh!

I love that fringe! I've been trying to find a fringe i like for the scarf I am working on....I think this might be the winner! Thanks!

[dhaunae]

And the answer is YES, it does in fact look really cool with the Imagine ribbon yarn! I'm so happy, this silly scarf has been sitting finished except for the ends because I couldn't find a fringe or edging I like, and now it's DONE!

I love this idea! Thanks for sharing it, Linda! (P.S. Did it work well with Homespun - it seems like it would.)

[jenf1676]

That is a wonderful idea , I am going to try it on my next fringed project.

[crochetchronicles]

This is such a great idea!

[Aunty Dana]

That looks great. I'm going to have to try that soon.
